Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Immunoadsorption and Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Summary

Guillain-Barre syndrome is an immune-mediated acute inflammatory peripheral neuropathy. The currently effective treatment methods include intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange. Immunoadsorption has been widely used to treat immune-related diseases. There are currently no prospective large-sample clinical trials of immunoadsorption therapy for Guillain-Barre syndrome. The neuro-intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University is preparing to carry out a prospective, multi-center, randomized parallel controlled clinical study on the efficacy and safety of protein A immunoadsorption and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in the treatment of Guillain-Barre syndrome. It is estimated that 204 patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome will be included. The patients will be randomly assigned to the immunoadsorption group and the IVIG group. The primary outcome measure: changes in Hughes scores (4 weeks after starting treatment vs. baseline (before starting treatment) ). This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of protein A immunoadsorption and intravenous immunoglobulin in the treatment of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
