Short-term follow-up of anti-MAG neuropathy patients given bendamustine plus rituximab combination therapy

This multicenter cohort of anti-MAG patients given BR combination therapy is, to our knowledge, the largest published to date. Although BR therapy seems to improve the clinical and electrophysiological outcome of anti-MAG patients, precise evaluation scales are nevertheless needed to highlight improvement. Sensitive scales such as the NIS should be used routinely for monitoring anti-MAG patients. Prospective studies with a larger number of patients would be useful to confirm the efficacy of BR therapy in these patients.

Abstract

This multicenter cohort of anti-MAG patients given BR combination therapy is, to our knowledge, the largest published to date. Although BR therapy seems to improve the clinical and electrophysiological outcome of anti-MAG patients, precise evaluation scales are nevertheless needed to highlight improvement. Sensitive scales such as the NIS should be used routinely for monitoring anti-MAG patients. Prospective studies with a larger number of patients would be useful to confirm the efficacy of BR therapy in these patients.
