PANS/PANDAS IVIG STUDY
Was your patient recently diagnosed with PANS/PANDAS?
Patients recently diagnosed with moderate to severe PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) / PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) may qualify to participate in a IVIG study.
The purpose of the study is to determine the sustainability of the reduction of the severity of symptoms in children treated with IVIG and to assess its efficacy in reducing functional impairment associated with PANS/PANDAS.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled superiority study spanning about 6 months. All participants will receive the study drug and placebo (no active ingredients). Help with study-related travel expenses will be provided.
