- Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to compare empasiprubart and IVIg for treating people with CIDP. This study consists of a Part A where participants will either receive empasiprubart and a placebo resembling IVIg, or IVIg and a placebo resembling empasiprubart for 24 weeks (6 months). Following Part A, participants will enter Part B in which all participants will receive empasiprubart for 96 weeks (24 months).

Group Intervention Description Part A - empasiprubart + IVIg-placebo empasiprubart During Part A, participants receive empasiprubart and a placebo resembling the IVIg treatment in this arm. Part A - empasiprubart + IVIg-placebo IVIg-placebo During Part A, participants receive empasiprubart and a placebo resembling the IVIg treatment in this arm. Part A - IVIg + empasiprubart-placebo IVIg During Part A, participants receive IVIg and a placebo resembling the empasiprubart treatment in this arm. Part A - IVIg + empasiprubart-placebo empasiprubart-placebo During Part A, participants receive IVIg and a placebo resembling the empasiprubart treatment in this arm. Part B - empasiprubart empasiprubart After completion of part A, participants can proceed to part B where they receive empasiprubart (no IVIg). Participants from the empasiprubart + IVIg- placebo arm in Part A will receive empasiprubart placebo once to maintain the blind of Part A. Part B - empasiprubart empasiprubart-placebo After completion of part A, participants can proceed to part B where they receive empasiprubart (no IVIg). Participants from the empasiprubart + IVIg- placebo arm in Part A will receive empasiprubart placebo once to maintain the blind of Part A.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Reduction of ≥1 point compared with baseline in aINCAT score at week 24 up to 24 weeks The Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment Disability Score (aINCAT) score is a 10-point scale that covers the functionality of legs and arms. The score varies between 0 and 10 (higher score, worse outcome).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline in grip strength (3-day moving average) in the dominant hand at week 24 up to 24 weeks The grip strength will be measured daily by using a Martin-Vigorimeter. The 3 daily measurements of grip strength from the left hand and the 3 daily measurements of grip strength from the right hand will be recorded, and the daily average for the left hand and right hand will be calculated, respectively. The 3-day moving average will be generated based on the average of the obtained averages for each hand on the target day and the preceding 2 days.
Change from baseline in TUG at week 24 up to 24 weeks The Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) is a simple test to assess a person's mobility in which the time expended to rise from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down is measured.
Change from baseline in I-RODS centile points score at week 24 up to 24 weeks Inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (I-RODS) assesses the limitations of activities and social participation in patients with inflammatory neuropathies like CIDP. The score ranges from 0 to 100 (higher score, worse outcome).
Time to increase of ≥1 point compared with baseline in aINCAT score Up to 24 weeks The Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment Disability Score (aINCAT) score is a 10-point scale that covers the functionality of legs and arms. The score varies between 0 and 10 (higher score, worse outcome).
Change from baseline in aINCAT over time up to 24 weeks (Part A) + 96 weeks (Part B) The Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment Disability Score (aINCAT) score is a 10-point scale that covers the functionality of legs and arms. The score varies between 0 and 10 (higher score, worse outcome).
Change from baseline in RT-FSS over time up to 24 weeks (Part A) + 96 weeks (Part B) Rasch-Transformed Fatigue Severity Scale (RT-FSS) is a patient-reported outcome measure to distinguish fatigue from clinical depression.
Change from baseline in SF-12 over time up to 24 weeks (Part A) + 96 weeks (Part B) 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) is a general patient-reported outcome measure.
Change from baseline in MRC-SS at week 24 up to 24 weeks The Medical Research Council Sum Score evaluates motor strength. Evaluated on 6 muscle groups on each side, the score varies from 0 to 60 (lower score, worse outcome).
Change from baseline in grip strength (3-day moving average) of both hands over time up to 24 weeks + 96 weeks (Part B) The grip strength will be measured daily by using a Martin-Vigorimeter. The 3 daily measurements of grip strength from the left hand and the 3 daily measurements of grip strength from the right hand will be recorded, and the daily average for the left hand and right hand will be calculated, respectively. The 3-day moving average will be generated based on the average of the obtained averages for each hand on the target day and the preceding 2 days.

Change from baseline in grip strength (daily average) for both hands up to 24 weeks + 96 weeks (Part B) The grip strength will be measured daily by using a Martin-Vigorimeter. The 3 daily measurements of grip strength from the left hand and the 3 daily measurements of grip strength from the right hand will be recorded, and the daily average for the left hand and right hand will be calculated, respectively. A daily average will be generated based on the average of the obtained averages for each hand.
Change from baseline in MRC-SS over time up to 96 weeks (Part B) The Medical Research Council Sum Score evaluates motor strength. Evaluated on 6 muscle groups on each side, the score varies from 0 to 60 (lower score, worse outcome).
Change from baseline in I-RODS centile points score over time Up to 96 weeks (Part B) Inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (I-RODS) assesses the limitations of activities and social participation in patients with inflammatory neuropathies like CIDP. The score ranges from 0 to 100 (higher score, worse outcome).
