Multifocal Motor Neuropathy: Understanding

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy: Overview

Multifocal motor neuropathy is a rare disorder characterized by slowly progressive muscle weakness, primarily of the arms and legs. The disorder is considered to be immune-mediated, which means there is inflammation resulting from abnormal functioning of the immune system and the presence of specific autoantibodies that target a specific protein in the body. Other symptoms including muscles cramps and wasting (atrophy) of muscles can also occur. The term multifocal means arising from two or more spots. The term motor refers to the motor nerves, which are those that carry nerve impulses from the brain to the muscles. The exact, underlying cause of this disorder is not fully understood. The disorder is acquired at some point during a person’s life; a person is not born with the disorder. Multifocal motor neuropathy usually responds to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin. Multifocal motor neuropathy is a progressive disorder, this means that the signs and symptoms tend to worsen slowly over time. The main symptom is progressive muscle weakness of the arms and legs. Unlike other neurological disorders affecting the arms and legs, there usually is not any sensory deficits. This means that feelings of tingling or numbness or pain are not associated with the disorder. Muscle weakness often begins in the hands, causing hand weakness and affected individuals may drop objects frequently or have difficulty performing tasks that require fine motor skills such as turning a key in a lock. Fine motor skills are those that require small movements involving the hands and wrists. The exact, underlying cause of multifocal motor neuropathy is not fully understood. The disorder is believed to be caused by or related to an abnormal response of the immune system. A diagnosis of multifocal motor neuropathy is based upon identification of characteristic symptoms, a detailed patient history, a thorough clinical evaluation and a variety of specialized tests. Asymmetrical muscle weakness without sensory problems (e.g. numbness, tingling, etc.) are the main signs of multifocal motor neuropathy. Diagnostic criteria for this disorder have been proposed by several groups. In 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Gammagard Liquid 10% for the treatment of multifocal motor neuropathy. Various other medications have been tried to treat multifocal motor neuropathy including cyclophosphamide, which has shown some effectiveness in some reports, but also some toxicity.

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Multifocal Motor Neuropathy report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy Emerging Drugs

ARGX-117: Argenx ARGX-117 is designed to be a humanized sweeping antibody that binds specifically to C2 in a pH- and Ca2+- dependent manner. C2 is a protein in the complement cascade which, when activated, leads to cell destruction. Binding of ARGX-117 is intended to inhibit the function of C2 and downstream complement activation. By blocking complement activity, ARGX-117 has the potential to reduce tissue inflammation and the adaptive immune response. Through this proposed mechanism, ARGX-117 could represent a broad pipeline opportunity across severe autoimmune indications. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of Clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Multifocal MotorNeuropathy.
