Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria

- written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed

- The diagnosis of CIDP will use the definition of the EFNS/PNS Task Force First
Revision. Patients must either have a clinical diagnosis of CIDP fulfilling the
clinical inclusion criteria for typical CIDP or one of the following atypical forms of
CIDP: pure motor, or asymmetrical (MADSAM [Lewis-Sumner syndrome]), or IgA or IgG (not
IgM) MGUS paraprotein associated.

- All patients must also fulfill the clinical exclusion criteria and the definite
electrodiagnostic criteria of the EFNS/PNS Task Force First Revision.

- disability defined by an INCAT Disability Scale score of 1-9 or, if INCAT score is 0,
a documented history of disability sufficient to require treatment within the past 2
years following reduction or interruption of CIDP treatment

- receiving IVIg treatment (minimal dose equivalent to 0.4 g/kg every 4 weeks for a
minimum of 12 weeks) or corticosteroids (minimal dose equivalent to prednisone 10
mg/day) treatment prior to the screening visit

- history of documented clinically meaningful deterioration confirmed by clinical
examination during therapy or upon interruption or reduction of therapy within 18
months prior to Screening

- stable CIDP symptoms for the 6 weeks before randomization
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
75 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria

- other chronic demyelinating neuropathies, including: Distal Acquired Demyelinating
Symmetric Neuropathy (DADS) Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN) pure sensory CIDP
hematopoietic malignancy except for MGUS

- conditions in which the pathogenesis of the neuropathy may be different from CIDP such
as: Lyme disease, POEMS syndrome, osteosclerotic myeloma, Castleman's disease

- treatment with plasma exchange within 2 months of randomization,
immunosuppressive/chemotherapeutic medications: azathioprine, cyclophosphamide,
cyclosporine, mycophenolate, etanercept, methotrexate tacrolimus or other
immunosuppressive drugs within 6 months of randomization or 5 half-lives (whichever is
later), Rituximab in the 2 years prior to randomization (patients that have received
rituximab between 1 and 2 years should have B-cell levels within normal range), other
cytotoxic immunosuppressive medications with sustained effects (including
mitoxantrone, alemtuzumab, cladribine) at any time, hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation at any time
