Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with diagnosed MMN who have ultrasound-confirmed nerve thickening and a MMN-RODS centile score of 90 or less.
✕Probably not a fit
Some participants may not experience meaningful benefit and could have safety risks from treatment.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase 1, open-label study administers empasiprubart intravenously to adults with MMN to examine its effects on nerve thickness, muscle strength, movement, and grip ability. Participants receive the treatment over a defined period, followed by a safety follow-up of up to 15 months, with an overall involvement of about 29 months per participant. Outcomes focus on ultrasound-determined nerve morphology, functional strength, and daily-hand use. The trial is sponsored by argenx and conducted at selected clinics in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients with MMN could experience improvements in nerve structure and hand function that may help with everyday tasks.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of similar biologic approaches in MMN have shown mixed or preliminary signals; this study explores a novel agent in a Phase 1 setting.

Inclusion Criteria: * Is at least 18 years old * Diagnosed with MMN * Has an MMN-RODS centile score of ≤90 * Has confirmed nerve thickening in at least 1 nerve per ultrasound measurement Exclusion Criteria: * Besides the indication under study, known autoimmune disease or any medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with an accurate assessment of clinical symptoms of MMN or puts the participant at undue risk.
