入选标准

  • Patients will be eligible for inclusion on the trial if on presentation they:
  • 1. Are aged 1 year or over
  • 2. Have been diagnosed with:
  • 2.1. EITHER acute first onset transverse myelitis
  • (The TM CONSORTIUM WORKING GROUP 2002 criteria for probable TM will be used. Hence, following clinical and radiological exclusion of a compressive myelopathy, patient will be diagnosed to have TM if they meet all the following criteria:
  • 2.1.1. Sensory, motor, or autonomic dysfunction attributable to the spinal cord
  • 2.1.2. Bilateral signs and/or symptoms (not necessarily symmetric)
  • 2.1.3. Sensory level (except in young children <5 years where this is difficult to evaluate)
  • 2.1.4. Lack of MRI brain criteria consistent with MS (McDonald 2010 space criteria)
  • 2.1.5. Progression to nadir between 4 h and 21 days)
  • 2.2. OR Have been diagnosed with first presentation of neuromyelitis optica.
  • (Patients with definite modified NMO will meet the following criteria (Wingerchuck et al, 2006).
  • Absolute criteria, both:
  • 2.2.1. Optic neuritis
  • 2.2.2. Acute myelitis
  • 2.3. Plus two out of three supportive criteria:
  • 2.3.1. Brain MRI not meeting criteria for MS at disease onset
  • 2.3.2. Spinal cord MRI with contiguous T2weighted signal abnormality extending over three or more vertebral segments, indicating a relatively large lesion in the spinal cord
  • 2.3.3. AQP 4 seropositive status)
  • 3. Have an ASIA Impairment score of A, B or C
  • 4. Have commenced steroid treatment but will be randomised no later than day 5 of steroids, and if definitely known, randomisation will not exceed 21 days from the onset of symptoms
  • 5. Give assent (8-16 years)/consent to participate in the trial

排除标准

  • Patients would be excluded if they show evidence of:
  • 1. Contraindication to IVIg as stated in the product SmPC, or receiving IVIG for other reasons
  • 2. Previously known systemic autoimmune disease (eg systemic lupus erythematosus) or any evidence of systemic inflammation during current presentation.
  • 3. Direct infectious aetiology (eg varicella zoster)
  • 4. Previous episode of CNS inflammatory demyelination
  • 5. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
  • 6. Other causes of myelopathy not thought to be due to myelitis (eg nutritional, ischaemic, tumour etc.)
  • 7. Other disease which would interfere with assessment of outcome measures
  • 8. Pregnancy
  • 9. Circumstances which would prevent follow-up for 12 months
