Primary outcome measures
Part B: Time From First Dose to Relapse as Assessed by the Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT)
Time frame: Part B baseline to Part B end of treatment period (up to Week 52)
Adjusted INCAT scores range from 0-10 with a score of 10 indicating the greatest degree of disability. A relapse is defined as an increase of ≥1 point from baseline in adjusted INCAT score.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Must have given written informed consent before any study-related activities are carried out.
- Weight range between 40 kilograms (kg) and 120 kg.
- Confirmed diagnosis of CIDP or possible CIDP. Participants must have either typical CIDP or one of the following variants: motor or multifocal CIDP. Diagnosis must be confirmed by the Independent CIDP Review Panel.
- CIDP Disease Activity Status (CDAS) score ≥ 3 at screening.
- Must be neurologically stable.
- Must have an INCAT score between 2 and 9 inclusive.
- Must fulfill one of the following treatment conditions for CIDP:
- Currently treated with and responded to immunoglobulin (Ig) (intravenous immunoglobulin \[IVIg\] or subcutaneous immunoglobulin \[SCIg\]) alone or Ig (IVIg or SCIg) plus oral corticosteroids, or previously treated with and responded to, but are no longer being treated with (eg, lost access to), a maintenance regimen of Ig (IVIg or SCIg) alone or Ig (IVIg or SCIg) plus oral corticosteroids.
- Currently treated with and responded to oral corticosteroids alone or oral corticosteroids in combination with azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil.
- Refractory participants who have had treatment failure (worsening) or an inadequate response to Ig and/or oral corticosteroids (defined as no clinically meaningful improvement after a period of a minimum of 12 weeks, which may include both active treatment and observation to assess response), or who at any time were unable to tolerate these treatments, experienced adverse effects, or have documented contraindications.
- Treatment naïve with no history of prior treatment for CIDP.
- Documented vaccinations against encapsulated bacteria in accordance with local requirements and vaccine availability.
- Female participants must be of nonchildbearing potential or if of childbearing potential, must agree not to donate ova, not to attempt to become pregnant and, if engaging in sexual intercourse with a male partner, must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception.
- Male participants must agree not to donate sperm and, if engaging in sexual intercourse with a female partner who could become pregnant, must agree to use an acceptable method of contraception or be surgically sterile for at least 90 days prior to Screening.
Exclusion criteria
- Clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of polyneuropathy of causes other than CIDP.
- Known evidence of central demyelination or known history of myelopathy.
- History or presence of significant medical/surgical condition including any acute illness or major surgery considered to be clinically significant or that could have a potential impact on safety/efficacy or study procedures.
- Any other condition, including mental illness or prior therapy that would make the participant unsuitable for this study.
- Known complement deficiency or history of positive titer for anti-C1 antibodies.
- Diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or family history of SLE (defined as a parent, sibling, or child).
- Participants with an autoimmune disease affecting joints, muscle or nervous system.
- Any coexisting or overlapping condition, which may interfere with outcome assessments, such as severe diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, inflammatory arthritis or osteoarthritis affecting the hands and feet.
- Prior history of N. meningitidis infection.
- History of active malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except basal cell carcinoma of the skin, curatively resected squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ curatively treated or low-grade prostate adenocarcinoma for which appropriate management is observation alone.
- Positive test results for active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or HIV-2), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
