Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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).

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.
