Acquired Neuromyotonia Drug Development

Introduction to Acquired Neuromyotonia (NMT)

Acquired neuromyotonia (NMT) is an immune disorder that is characterized by cramps and fasciculations (twitching or flickering of muscles) due to peripheral nerve hyperexcitability. This situation can affect all limb and trunk muscles. The autonomic nervous system can also be affected and this may present as gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, burping and altered bowel habits, or excessive sweating. With more than 10 years of scientific research experience, Creative Biolabs pays attention to solving research problems for customers. For autoimmune diseases, such as acquired neuromyotonia, our scientists apply their expertise to provide antibody development and cell therapy services.

Current Treatments for NMT

Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg): IVIg can be made from pooled human serum or laboratory. It includes many different proteins which can cause antibodies and relieve the symptoms. Patients receive intravenous infusions of the IVIg at 4 weekly intervals.
Plasma Exchange: This is a more invasive and costly treatment. Plasma exchange is reserved as a second-line treatment. This involves removing the patient’s blood, washing it, and returning the blood cells with added fluid to the patient.
Symptomatic treatment: Symptomatic treatment for the cramps is given in the form of anti-epileptic drugs such as carbamazepine.
