Summary

This trial is testing the efficacy and safety of SAR445088 in CIDP patients. There are three groups of patients: those who are currently being treated with the standard of care (SOC-Treated), those who are refractory to SOC (SOC-Refractory), and those who have never been treated with SOC (SOC-Naive). The secondary objectives are to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of SAR445088 in CIDP patients, as well as the durability of its efficacy over time.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) who are either untreated, have not responded well to standard treatments, or cannot continue those treatments due to side effects. Participants must be able to consent and women of childbearing age must use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing SAR445088 for CIDP patients. It's given via IV or SC injections. The study has two parts: Part A tests the drug's effectiveness in different subpopulations; Part B looks at long-term safety and how well it works over time.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of SAR445088 aren't listed, similar drugs may cause injection site reactions, increased risk of infections, potential allergic reactions, fatigue, headache, and possible immune system impacts.

Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: SOC-Treated Low DoseExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part A: Eligible participants will receive SAR445088 for 24 weeks. Weeks 1-12 (overlap period): Participants will be given SAR445088 with superimposing effects SOC therapy; Weeks 13-24: SAR445088. Participants who do not enroll into Part B will attend a final safety follow-up visit that will take place 22 weeks after Week 24 (\~Week 46). Part B: Participants who successfully complete Part A, will be reassessed for continued eligibility, will be given the option of rolling into Part B, and continue receiving SAR445088 for 52 weeks. At the end of the Part B treatment period, participants will attend a safety follow-up visit that will take place 22 weeks after the last SAR445088 dose (\~week 98) if they do not continue in Part C. Part C: Participants from Part B who enter Part C will continue receiving SAR445088 until end of study. Participants who discontinue at any time in Part C will attend a safety follow-up visit that will take place 22 weeks after the last SAR445088 dose.
Group II: SOC-Treated Initial DoseExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Part A: Eligible participants will receive SAR445088 for 24 weeks. Weeks 1-12 (overlap period): Participants will be given SAR445088 with superimposing effects of SOC therapy; Weeks 13-24: SAR445088 given. Participants who do not enroll into Part B will attend final safety follow-up visit at 22 weeks after Week 24 (\~Week 46).
