The main aim of the study is to check for side effects from TAK-771, and to check how well TAK-771 controls symptoms in Japanese participants with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) The participants will be treated with TAK-771 for 45 months as a maximum. There will be many clinic visits. The number of visits will depend on the infusion cycles of study drug (every 2, 3, or 4 weeks).

Epoch 1: Percentage of Participants With CIDP Who Experienced Relapse
Relapse was defined as worsening of functional disability defined as an increase of \>=1 point relative to the pre-subcutaneous (pre-SC) treatment baseline score in adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) disability score. The INCAT disability scale was the most widely used assessment tool to measure the functional activity level of participants with CIDP. The INCAT disability scale consisted of upper and lower extremity components, with a maximum of 5 points for the upper extremities (arm disability) and a maximum of 5 points for the lower extremities (leg disability), which were summed for an overall INCAT disability score ranging from 0 to 10 points, where 0 was normal and 10 was severely incapacitated. An adjusted INCAT disability score was the same as the INCAT disability score, with the only exception in the exclusion of changes from 0 (normal) to 1 (minor symptoms) (or vice versa) in upper limb function.

Hand grip strength was measured using the Martin vigorimeter by quantifying air pressure. The R-ODS was a participant self-reported, linearly-weighted overall disability scale that was specifically designed to capture activity and social participation limitations in participants with immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies including CIDP. R-ODS was comprised of 24 items that rate participant's functioning related to a variety of everyday tasks at moment of completion on a scale of 0 to 2 (where 0 indicates it is not possible for the respondent to perform the task and 2 means that task can be performed without difficulty). Total scores range from 0 to 48 and higher scores indicate greater ability to perform daily and social tasks.

The R-ODS was a participant self-reported, linearly-weighted overall disability scale that was specifically designed to capture activity and social participation limitations in participants with immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies including CIDP. R-ODS was comprised of 24 items that rate participant's functioning related to a variety of everyday tasks at moment of completion on a scale of 0 to 2 (where 0 indicates it is not possible for the respondent to perform the task and 2 means that task can be performed without difficulty).

Epoch 1: Change From Pre-subcutaneous Treatment (Baseline) in an Average of Handgrip Strength of Both Hands in Participants With CIDP and MMN
The Martin Vigorimeter was used to assess grip strength in both hands. The instrument consisted of a compressible rubber ball that was connected to a manometer. When the rubber ball was squeezed, the force of compression was measured in kPa ranging from 0 to 160 kPa. Average of grip strength was defined as an average of the two maximum values: maximum of the 3 measurements in the more affected hand and the maximum of the 3 measurements in the less affected hand.
Time frame: Epoch 1: Baseline up to 6 months
Epoch 1: Change From Pre-subcutaneous Treatment (Baseline) Total Medical Research Council (MRC) Sum Score in Participants With MMN
The MRC sum score served as a measure of muscle strength. The following muscles on each side of the body were examined and the strength of each muscle was rated according to the MRC scale: deltoids, biceps, wrist extensors, iliopsoas, quadriceps, and anterior tibialis. The MRC scale ranged from 0 to 5, where: 0 = no visible contraction; 1 = visible contraction without movement of the limb; 2 = movement of the limb but not against gravity; 3 = movement against gravity over (almost) the full range; 4 = movement against gravity and resistance; and 5 = normal. All scores from both left and right side of the body were summed to obtain the total MRC sum score. The total MRC sum score ranged from 0 (paralysis) to 60 (normal strength) with higher score indication normal strength.
Time frame: Epoch 1: Baseline up to 6 months
Epoch 1: Number of MMN Participants With Increased Guy's Neurological Disability Scale (GNDS) Score in Upper Limb and Lower Limb Categories
GNDS was a questionnaire which consisted of 12 separate categories (4 to 8 questions per category). The categories included: cognition, mood, vision, speech, swallowing, upper limb function, lower limb function, bladder function, bowel function, sexual function, fatigue, and others. In the current study, only 2 categories; upper limb function and the lower limb function was used for assessment of the disability of participants with MMN. The severity of each subscale (including upper limb and lower limb) was graded from 0 (normal function) to 5 (total loss of function) based according to severity and impact on the individual. The total GNDS score was the sum of the 12 separate scores ranging between 0 and 60 with higher scores indicating loss of function.
