Explore Treatments for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

Guillain- Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. Early symptoms typically include weakness and tingling in the hands and feet, which can rapidly progress and lead to muscle weakness or even paralysis throughout the body. The exact cause of GBS is unknown, but in approximately two-thirds of cases, the condition is preceded by an infection, most commonly a respiratory or gastrointestinal illness, within the six weeks before symptom onset.

Subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) contains antibodies that offer broad protection against a wide range of bacteria and viruses. It is administered under the skin (subcutaneously) and is primarily used to treat primary immunodeficiency diseases and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). SCIG is also being studied in clinical trials for use in additional conditions.
