Objective:

To evaluate the therapeutic potential of NVG-2089, a recombinant IgG1 Fc-domain protein, in an animal model of inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy.

Key Findings:
  • Both NVG-2089 and IVIg stabilized motor and sensory performance.
  • Both treatments preserved compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes and attenuated demyelination-associated prolongation of distal latency and CMAP duration.
  • Morphometric analyses showed preservation of myelinated fiber density and normalization of g-ratio distributions in both treatment groups.
  • Immunophenotyping indicated an expansion of functionally activated CD25+CD39+ Tregs and increased FcγRIIB expression on immune cells.
Interpretation:

NVG-2089 demonstrated robust neuroprotective efficacy comparable to IVIg while requiring a substantially lower protein dose.

Limitations:
Conclusion:

These findings support NVG-2089 as a promising, dose-efficient alternative to IVIg for the treatment of inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies, including GBS and CIDP.
