FDA Approval of Privigen® [Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Liquid] for the Treatment of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) in Adults

CSL Limited (ASX:CSL; USOTC:CSLLY) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved CSL Behring’s Privigen® [Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human), 10% Liquid] for the treatment of adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) to improve neuromuscular disability. CIDP is a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nerves and may cause permanent nerve damage.

“The FDA approval of Privigen for CIDP represents a significant milestone for individuals with this debilitating and progressive disease. It is a testament to our commitment to meet the needs of patients with disabling neurologic conditions, including CIDP,” said Dr. Andrew Cuthbertson, chief scientific officer and director of Research and Development for CSL Limited. “As we focus on building a leading neurology franchise, we continue to advance clinical research to determine innovative and improved uses of immunoglobulin therapy that can benefit patients and improve their quality of life.”

In CIDP, a rare autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nerves (those outside the brain and spinal cord), the myelin sheath, the protective covering of the nerves, is damaged.

CIDP can occur at any age and is more common in men than in women. Approximately 30 percent of CIDP patients will progress to wheelchair dependence if not treated. In the US, it is estimated that the incidence of CIDP is up to two patients per 100,000 people each year, with a prevalence of 40,000 people affected.
