• (2) Diagnosis of refractory chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Refractory CIDP is defined as the absence of evidence of clinical improvement (ECI) after at least 1 month of at least one first-line therapy, including intravenous immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, or plasma exchange, or a persistently elevated INCAT disability score of ≥2. ECI is defined as meeting at least one of the following criteria: a. A decrease of ≥1 point in the adjusted INCAT disability score; b. An increase of ≥4 points in the I-RODS total score; c. An increase of ≥3 points in the MRC sum score; d. An improvement of ≥8 kPa in grip strength. (3) INCAT disability score of 2 to 9. (4) Able to fully understand the study, willing to comply with study procedures, and able to provide written informed consent.
