If you want relevant responses, you need an appropriate forum. You are on a British site run by National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society within HealthUnlocked which does not include CIDP.

Rituximab for CIDP is not yet approved by the FDA clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show...

Try putting in Neuropathy into the search box (top right). You might find some other people with CIDP - but it's classed as a rare condition.

Rituximab is used in Rheumatoid Disease with considerable success, so I hope it helps you too.

Hiya Subham. I don't recall anyone on this forum having a diagnosis of CIDP. I would think you Googled Rituximab & it led you here? It would make sense as RTX is also a biological med used in the treatment of Rheumatoid Diseases, NRAS stands for National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society, a UK charity.

I did a search of the whole of Healthunlocked for CIDP, the link gives you all the posts on each HU forum healthunlocked.com/search/p... There are 2 pages from different forums. Maybe if you ask the same question on each of the sites hopefully it will put you in touch with other people with CIDP who will be able to share their experiences with you, some may even take RTX for CIDP.

All the best.
