About this trial
The purpose of the study is to evaluate efficacy of riliprubart compared to placebo in adult participants with CIDP whose disease is refractory to standard of care. The study duration will be for a maximum of 111 weeks including screening, treatment phases, and follow-up.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Participant must have CIDP or possible CIDP criteria, based on European Academy of Neurology (EAN)/ Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS) Task Force CIDP guidelines, second revision (2021).
Participant must have either typical CIDP, or one of the following two CIDP variants: motor CIDP, multifocal CIDP (also known as Lewis Sumner Syndrome). Diagnosis must be confirmed by the adjudication committee.
Participant must be refractory to either immunoglobulin therapy or corticosteroid therapy, as defined below.
Immunoglobulin-refractory subgroup: Historic evidence of failure or inadequate response to immunoglobulin therapy prior to screening

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of participants experiencing a response
A response is defined as a decrease of ≥1 point from baseline in adjusted INCAT disability score at Week 24.

Lasting response is defined as a decrease of ≥1 point in adjusted INCAT disability score at week 48 versus baseline.
Percentage of participants randomized to placebo who experience a response
A response is defined as a decrease of ≥1 point in adjusted INCAT disability score at Week 48 versus week 24.
