prednisolone and Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating

prednisolone has been researched along with Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating in 43 studies

Prednisolone: A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states.
prednisolone : A glucocorticoid that is prednisone in which the oxo group at position 11 has been reduced to the corresponding beta-hydroxy group. It is a drug metabolite of prednisone.

Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating: A slowly progressive autoimmune demyelinating disease of peripheral nerves and nerve roots. Clinical manifestations include weakness and sensory loss in the extremities and enlargement of peripheral nerves. The course may be relapsing-remitting or demonstrate a step-wise progression. Protein is usually elevated in the spinal fluid and cranial nerves are typically spared. GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME features a relatively rapid progression of disease which distinguishes it from this condition. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1337)

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

2) The Difference in Change Between Quantified Utah Early Neuropathy Examination Scores, Between Treatment and Placebo Groups Between Visits 1 and 8.

"The Utah Early Neuropathy Scale (UENS) was developed specifically to detect and quantify early small-fiber sensory neuropathy and to recognize modest changes in sensory severity and distribution.~The UENS scale ranges from 0 (no neuropathy) to 42 (severe small fiber neuropathy). The outcome measure is the UENS score from Visit 8 minus the UENS score at visit 1. The difference in the two scores indicates the change in neuropathy severity. A positive value indicates that neuropathy has worsened over the course of the study, a negative value indicates that neuropathy has improved over the course of the study." (NCT03401073)
Timeframe: Visit 1 (time zero) and visit 8 (range of visit time 22-27 weeks after visit 1), thus a total of 22-27 weeks for the study (the range is provided to ensure final follow up is completed despite any conflicts with travel or holidays).

The Change in Nerve Fiber Density Between Visits 1 and 8.

"Difference in intra-epidermal nerve fiber density between visits 1 and 8 will be measured.~Intra-epidermal nerve fiber density is a quantitative measure of the number of nerve fibers per millimeter. The outcome is the number of nerve fibers measured at visit 8 minus the number of nerve fibers measured at visit 1. A positive value indicates that nerve fiber density has increased (a better outcome), a negative value indicates that the nerve fiber density has decreased (a worse outcome)." (NCT03401073)
Timeframe: Visit 1 (time zero) and visit 8 (range of visit time 22-27 weeks after visit 1), thus a total of 22-27 weeks for the study (the range is provided to ensure final follow up is completed despite any conflicts with travel or holidays).

The Change in Neuropathic Pain Severity Between Visits 1 and 8.

"The visual analog scale (VAS) of pain allows for quantification of neuropathic pain.~The VAS pain scale depicts a line ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). The scale is ordinal ranging from 0-10.~The difference in pain between visit 1 and visit 8 (pain measured at visit 8 subtracted from the score at visit 1) is the range. Positive values indicate an increase in pain (worse outcome), negative values indicate an improvement in pain (better outcome)." (NCT03401073)
Timeframe: Visit 1 (time zero) and visit 8 (range of visit time 22-27 weeks after visit 1), thus a total of 22-27 weeks for the study (the range is provided to ensure final follow up is completed despite any conflicts with travel or holidays).

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure During 60° Tilt (ΔSBP)

The primary outcome, the change in systolic blood pressure during 60 degree tilt (ΔSBP), will be assessed in all study participants at baseline and at 6 weeks. (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure During 60° Tilt (ΔSBP)

To compare the change in systolic blood pressure during 60 degree head up tilt table test after 6 and 12 weeks of IVIG (the within-patient difference in ΔSBP at 12 and 6 weeks among treated patients). (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Composite Autonomic Severity Score (CASS) Questionnaire.

"To determine the change in autonomic symptoms (measured by the composite autonomic severity score [CASS]) measured at baseline and 6 weeks in individuals receiving IVIg.~Is a 10-point composite autonomic scoring scale of autonomic function. This scale allots 4 points for adrenergic and 3 points each for sudomotor and cardiovagal failure. Subjects with a score of 3 or less on have a mild autonomic failure, 4-6 have moderate autonomic failure and those with scores of 7 to 10 have severe failure. The minimum score possible is 3 and maximum is 10." (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

Composite Autonomic Symptom Score [COMPASS] Questionnaire

To determine the change in autonomic symptoms (measured by the composite autonomic symptom score [COMPASS] questionnaire) measured at baseline and 6 weeks. Minimum and maximum score possible: 0-100. We have reported the Total score. Higher values represent worse outcome. (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

EuroQol [EQ-5D] Questionnaire.

"To determine the change in quality of life (measured by the EuroQol [EQ-5D]) measured at baseline and 6 weeks in individuals receiving IVIg. We have reported the subscale (EQ-VAS). The minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 100. (0) corresponds to the worst health you can imagine, and the highest rate (100) corresponds to the best health you can imagine." (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks

Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment Questionnaire

"To determine the change in orthostatic Hypotension symptom (measured by the orthostatic hypotension symptom assessment questionnaire) measured at baseline and 6 weeks in individuals receiving IVIG. This is a 60 point orthostatic hypotenstion symptom assessment questionnaire. The minimum score possible is 0 and maximum is 60.~Higher values represent worse outcome. We are reporting the total score." (NCT01522235)
Timeframe: Baseline, 6 weeks
