Study Description

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply:

  1. Participant must have CIDP or possible CIDP criteria, based on European Academy of Neurology (EAN)/ Peripherial Nerve Society (PNS) Task Force CIDP guidelines, second revision (2021).
  2. Participant must have either typical CIDP, or one of the following 2 CIDP variants: motor CIDP, multifocal CIDP (also known as Lewis Sumner Syndrome). Diagnosis must be confirmed by the study adjudication committee.
  3. Participants must have responded to IVIg in the past 5 years. Response must be an objective clinically meaningful improvement defined by at least one of the following: greater or equal to 1 point decrease in adjusted INCAT score, greater or equal to 4 points increase in I-RODS total score, greater or equal to 3 points increase in the MRC-SS, greater or equal to 8 kilopascal improvement in mean grip strength (1 hand), or an equivalent improvement based on information documented in medical records as per the Investigator's judgment.
  4. Participant must be on a stable maintenance dosage of IVIg, defined as no change greater than 10% in frequency or dose of IVIg within 8 weeks prior to Screening, and remaining stable until baseline.
  5. Participant must have residual disability, defined as an INCAT score of 2 to 9 at Screening that is confirmed at baseline (a score of 2 should be exclusively from leg disability component of INCAT).
  6. Participant must be receiving treatment with IVIg within a standard maintenance dosing regimen, defined as per EAN/PNS 2021 CIDP guidelines: 0.4 to 1 g/kg every 2 to 6 weeks.
  7. Participants receiving IVIg infusions at home are eligible, as long as IVIg infusions are switched to a hospital or infusion center setting at least 1 cycle prior to baseline.
  8. Participant must have active disease, defined by a CIDP disease activity score (CDAS) XE " CDAS " \f Abbreviation \t "CIDP disease activity score" of greater or equal to 2 points at Screening.
  9. Participant must have documented vaccinations against encapsulated bacterial pathogens given within 5 years of Screening or initiated a minimum of 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention.
  10. All participants must agree to use contraception methods during and after the study as required.
  11. Contraceptive use by men and women participating in the study should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
  12. A male participant is eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the study intervention period and for at least 55 weeks after the last dose of study medication.
  • Refrain from donating or cryopreserving sperm.

PLUS, either:

--Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent.

OR

Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below:

  • A male condom and an additional highly effective contraceptive method (Contraceptive and barrier guidance per protocol) when having sexual intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who is not currently pregnant.
