The MAGNAZ trial, the first study evaluating zanubrutinib added to rituximab in anti-MAG polyneuropathy, reported baseline characteristics of 32 enrolled patients at PNS 2026, with efficacy results to follow.

A real-world comparative study found efgartigimod produced similar GBS disability score improvement to plasma exchange at 4 weeks, with significantly greater MRC sum score recovery at weeks 8 and 12, and a comparable safety profile.

Analysis of 1420 patients from the International GBS Outcome Study found no significant difference in GBS disability scores between IVIg and plasma exchange at 4 or 26 weeks after adjusting for key clinical covariates.

An exploratory analysis of the phase 3 ADHERE trial found serum NfL levels correlated with CIDP disease activity and declined with efgartigimod treatment in patients with elevated baseline levels.
