A Study of TAK-411 in Adults With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP)
(CASCA)
What this study is about
CIDP is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body's germ fighting (immune) system attacks itself. In CIDP, the immune system attacks the protective covering around the nerves called myelin. Over time, these nerves lose their ability to send signals to the muscles in the body. This leads to muscle weakness and loss of sensation in treatment group$1 and legs among other symptoms.
View original scientific description
CIDP is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body's germ fighting (immune) system attacks itself. In CIDP, the immune system attacks the protective covering around the nerves called myelin. Over time, these nerves lose their ability to send signals to the muscles in the body. This leads to muscle weakness and loss of sensation in arms and legs among other symptoms. Participants with CIDP can be treated with a protein called immunoglobulin (or IG).
Interventions
BIOLOGICAL
TAK-411
TAK-411 IV infusion.
Primary outcome measures
Number of Participants With Improvement in Functional Ability at Week 24
Time frame: At Week 24
Improvement in functional ability is defined as decrease of \>=1 point in INCAT score at Week 24 compared with baseline (last assessment before first investigational product \[IP\] administration on Day 1). INCAT disability scale consists of upper and lower extremity components, which are scored based on a participant's level of impairment/disability in their arms and legs, respectively. Each component is scored from 0 to 5 points, which are summed for an overall INCAT disability score ranging from 0 to 10 points, where a score of 0 indicates no signs of disability (example, no upper limb problems and walking not affected) and a score of 10 indicates most severe disability (example, inability to move either arm for any purposeful movement and restricted to a wheelchair, unable to stand and walk a few steps with help). Adjusted INCAT disability score remains identical to INCAT disability score, except that changes in upper limb function from 0 (normal) to 1 (minor symptoms) are excluded.
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
- The participant is at least 18 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
- The participant has a body weight of less than or equal to (\<=) 150 kilogram (kg).
- The participant has a documented diagnosis of typical CIDP, as confirmed by a neurologist specializing/experienced in neuromuscular diseases and consistent with the European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) 2021 criteria.
- The participant has responded to IgG treatment in the past (documented partial or complete resolution of neurological symptoms and deficits).
- The participant has had disease activation within 18 months before screening, as documented in medical records and in the opinion of the investigator, defined as one of the following: 1. Clinically meaningful deterioration of symptoms on interruption or dose reduction of IgG treatment. 2. Clinically meaningful deterioration of symptoms requiring IgG treatment dose increase wi

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.
