A Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Empasiprubart Versus IVIg in Adults With CIDP

Purpose

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).

Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Part A - empasiprubart + IVIg-placebo
During Part A, participants receive empasiprubart and a placebo resembling the IVIg treatment in this arm.
  • Biological: empasiprubart
    Intravenous infusion of empasiprubart
  • Other: IVIg-placebo
    A placebo resembling the IVIg treatment
Active Comparator
Part A - IVIg + empasiprubart-placebo
During Part A, participants receive IVIg and a placebo resembling the empasiprubart treatment in this arm.
  • Biological: IVIg
    Intravenous infusion of IVIg
  • Other: empasiprubart-placebo
    A placebo resembling the empasiprubart treatment
Experimental
Part B - 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.
  • Biological: empasiprubart
    Intravenous infusion of empasiprubart
  • Other: empasiprubart-placebo
    A placebo resembling the empasiprubart treatment
