The ORBIT-CIDP Study combines and analyzes medical records
As part of this observational study, the ORBIT-CIDP Study team may analyze your medical records alongside those of other study participants to gain a clearer picture of how CIDP affects daily life. By combining data from many participants, the study can identify patterns and insights that may not be visible to any single physician. To protect your privacy, all personal details that could identify you are removed through a process called de-identification, ensuring that researchers receive only the essential health information they need.

Records are yours to keep
We’ll continue to collect new records for the duration of the study. Any records collected are yours to keep forever, to use and share as you please.
