Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CIDP medications, costs, and savings programs.

What is CIDP?
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder where the immune system attacks myelin of peripheral nerves, causing progressive weakness and impaired sensation. It is sometimes called the chronic form of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
How much does IVIG cost for CIDP?
IVIG therapy for CIDP typically costs $10,000-$25,000 per infusion. Monthly treatment can exceed $50,000/year. Most insurance covers IVIG for CIDP with proper documentation.
What is the advantage of subcutaneous IgG vs IVIG?
SCIg (Hizentra, Cuvitru) can be self-administered at home weekly, avoiding infusion center visits. It provides more stable IgG levels, often resulting in fewer side effects than monthly IVIG.
Does argenx offer financial assistance for Vyvgart Hytrulo?
Yes. The argenx TOGETHER program covers copays and provides free drug for qualifying uninsured/underinsured CIDP patients. Vyvgart Hytrulo was FDA-approved for CIDP in 2023.
Are corticosteroids still used for CIDP?
Yes. High-dose prednisone or methylprednisolone remain valid options, especially for newly diagnosed patients or those without insurance coverage for IVIG. Corticosteroids have significant long-term side effects limiting sustained use.
