OVERVIEW

Enhancing the Patient Journey in Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP): Strategies for Improved Detection and Individualized Management is organized by i3 Health.

Dates Available:
November 18, 2025 - November 17, 2026

Statement of Need:
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare, immune-mediated peripheral nerve disease characterized by progressive sensorimotor neuropathy (van Doorn et al, 2024). Patients with typical CIDP experience symmetric muscle weakness, sensory disturbances in the limbs, and reduction or loss of deep tendon reflexes. Other variants exist with differing clinical presentations. Patients with CIDP experience significant impacts of functioning and quality of life (Quint et al, 2025). While early diagnosis and treatment initiation may reduce the risk of permanent disability resulting from irreversible axonal damage, timely diagnosis is complicated by highly variable clinical presentations. In order to optimize outcomes for their patients, it is crucial for members of the interdisciplinary care team to remain up to date on advances in diagnostic criteria and tests; treatment approaches with immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, plasma exchange, and other therapies; and strategies for tailoring therapeutic selection to each patient’s individual situation (van Doorn et al, 2024). In this activity, Karissa Gable, MD, Professor of Neurology at Duke University Medical Center, will explore strategies for improved detection and individualized management to enhance the patient journey in CIDP.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe signs, symptoms, and assessments that can inform CIDP diagnosis
  • Appraise guideline recommendations for CIDP induction and maintenance therapy
  • Evaluate the safety and efficacy of current and emerging agents for the treatment of CIDP
  • Assess strategies to tailor CIDP therapy based on patient needs, preferences, and therapeutic response
