Activity Description

Although it is a rare immune-mediated neuropathological condition, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is associated with significant morbidity and reduced quality of life. The development of new guidelines from the European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) on diagnosing and treating CIDP, coupled with recent advancements in immunoglobulin (Ig) targeting therapies, offer health care professionals (HCP) and patients hope. U.S.-based HCPs, working as a part of multidisciplinary teams, will benefit from learning how best to utilize the guidelines from their international colleagues in collaborative care approaches to diagnosing and treating CIDP.

In this CME Outfitters Grand Rounds activity, international expert faculty will guide participants through a discussion of the guideline-recommended tools and measures to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis of CIDP, how to utilize real-world strategies to implement novel Ig-targeted therapies in diverse practice settings, and how to implement collaborative care to improve long-term management of CIDP.

Target Audience

Neurologists, physician associates (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), infusion specialists, and nurses

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

• Incorporate the use of guideline-recommended tools and measures to facilitate the early, accurate diagnosis of CIDP
• Utilize real-world strategies to implement novel Ig-targeted therapies in diverse practice settings
• Implement collaborative care approaches that improve the detection and optimal, long-term management of CIDP
