The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of empasiprubart in adults with CIDP. The study consists of a part A where participants will either receive empasiprubart or placebo 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).

Reduction of ≥1 point compared with baseline in aINCAT score at week 24
The Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment Disability Score (aINCAT) score is a 10-point scale that covers the functionality of legs and arms. The score varies between 0 and 10 (higher score, worse outcome).
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Change from baseline in I-RODS centile points score
Inflammatory Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (I-RODS) assesses the limitations of activities and social participation in patients with inflammatory neuropathies like CIDP. The score ranges from 0 to 100 (higher score, worse outcome).
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (part A) + 96 weeks (Part B)
Change from baseline in MRC-SS at week 24
The Medical Research Council Sum Score evaluates motor strength. Evaluated on 6 muscle groups on each side, the score varies from 0 to 60 (lower score, worse outcome)
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Time to reduction of ≥1 point from baseline in aINCAT score
The Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment Disability Score (aINCAT) score is a 10-point scale that covers the functionality of legs and arms. The score varies between 0 and 10 (higher score, worse outcome).
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks
Change from baseline in TUG
The Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) is a simple test top assess a person's mobility in which the time expended to rise from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down is measured.
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (part A) + 96 weeks (Part B)
Time to increase of ≥1 point compared with baseline in aINCAT score up to week 24
The Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment Disability Score (aINCAT) score is a 10-point scale that covers the functionality of legs and arms. The score varies between 0 and 10 (higher score, worse outcome).

Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Part A) + 96 weeks (Part B)
PGI-C values over time
The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) is a patient-reported outcome measure that reflects the patient's belief about the efficacy of treatment.
