- Participant must have active disease, defined by a CIDP disease activity score (CDAS) of ≥ 2 points at Screening
- Participant must have documented vaccinations against encapsulated bacterial pathogens given within 5 years prior to Day 1 or initiated a minimum of 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention
- All participants must agree to use contraception methods during and after the study as required.
- Contraceptive use by men and women participating in the study should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
- Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the study intervention period and for at least 55 weeks after the last dose of study medication:

- Is a woman of nonchildbearing potential (WONCBP) as defined by the protocol OR
- Is a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and agrees to use a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of \<1% per year), as described in Appendix 10.4 Contraception and barrier guidance during the study intervention period (to be effective before starting the intervention) and for at least 55 weeks after the last administration of study intervention and agrees not to donate or cryopreserve eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period.
- Body weight at Screening of 35 kg to 154 kg (77 to 340 lbs), inclusive
Exclusion Criteria34
- Polyneuropathy of other causes, including but not limited to: hereditary demyelinating neuropathies, neuropathies secondary to infection or systemic disease, diabetic neuropathy, drug- or toxin-induced neuropathies, multifocal motor neuropathy, polyneuropathy related to Immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal gammopathy, POEMS syndrome, and lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy.
