Long-term phase 3 extension data showed that pitolisant was generally well tolerated and associated with sustained improvements in excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep inertia, and functional outcomes in adults with idiopathic hypersomnia for more than 2 years.

The phase 3 EMNERGIZE study evaluates whether the complement C2 inhibitor empasiprubart can improve disability and functional outcomes in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

A preclinical study found that SP16, an LRP1 agonist, reduced mechanical hypersensitivity and cold hyperalgesia in paclitaxel-treated mice in an LRP1-dependent manner, implicating Schwann cell LRP1 as a potential therapeutic target in CIPPN.

A randomized, placebo-controlled study will assess whether weekly subcutaneous imeroprubart can reduce relapse risk in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy despite standard-of-care treatment.

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.

Here's some of what is coming soon to NeurologyLive® this week.

Neurologists Sarah Simmons, MD, PhD, and Fatma Inanici, MD, PhD, discuss how the combination of noninvasive cervical spinal cord stimulation with exercise therapy can improve upper extremity function in people with MS.

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.

The CAPTIVATE trial evaluates claseprubart, an active C1s inhibitor, across a broad CIDP population including SOC responders, refractory patients, and treatment-naive adults, with time to relapse as the primary endpoint in the double-blind phase.

Despite missing its primary end point, the SYNAPSE-CMT trial showed improvements in muscle strength and motor function with ignaseclant treatment in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

A phase 4 trial underway in the U.S. is examining whether patients with CIDP on stable IVIg can transition to efgartigimod PH20 SC within one week of their last infusion, without requiring documented disease worsening first.

Take 5 minutes to catch up on NeurologyLive®'s highlights from the week ending June 12, 2026.

Pariceract missed meeting the primary and key secondary efficacy end points in the phase 2b ACTIVATE trial, leading to the discontinuation of its development for GBA1-associated Parkinson disease.
