Proof-of-concept study for SAR445088 in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)

You may be able to join if

• Adults ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
• Documented definite or probable diagnosis of CIDP (typical CIDP, pure motor CIDP, or Lewis-Sumner Syndrome) according to the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS)/Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS) Task Force first revision.
• Belonging to one of the following three groups: standard-of-care (SOC)-Treated, SOC-Refractory or SOC-Naïve, as defined below. - SOC-Treated (all criteria a-c must be met): a) Documented evidence of objective response to SOC, with clinically meaningful improvement. Clinically meaningful improvement is defined as one of the following: ≥1-point decrease in adjusted INCAT score, ≥4 points increase in RODS total score, ≥3 points increase in MRC Sum score, ≥8 kilopascal improvement in mean grip strength (one hand), or an equivalent improvement based on information documented in medical records and per the PI’s judgement. b) Must be on stable SOC therapy, defined as no change greater than 10% in frequency or dose of immunoglobulin therapy or corticosteroids within 8 weeks prior to screening, remaining at stable SOC therapy until the time of first SAR445088 dosing. c) Evidence of clinically meaningful deterioration on interruption or dose reduction of SOC therapy within 24 months prior to screening, determined by clinical examination or medical records. Clinically meaningful deterioration is defined as one of the following: ≥1-point increase in adjusted INCAT score, decrease in RODS total score ≥4 points, decrease in MRC Sum score ≥3, mean grip strength worsening of ≥8 kilopascals (one hand), or an equivalent deterioration based on information from medical records and at the PI’s judgement. - SOC-Refractory (all criteria a-d must be met): a) Evidence of failure or inadequate response to SOC defined as no clinically meaningful improvement and persistent INCAT score ≥2 after treatment for a minimum of 12 weeks on SOC prior to screening. A clinically meaningful improvement is defined as one of the following: ≥1-point decrease in adjusted INCAT score, increase in RODS total score ≥4 points, increase in MRC Sum score ≥3, mean grip strength improvement of ≥8 kilopascals (one hand), or equivalent improvement based on information from medical records and at the PI’s judgement. Or - Unable to receive or continue treatment with immunoglobulins or corticosteroids due to side effects. - b) Patient has not received immunoglobulins (IVIg or SCIg) within 12 weeks prior to screening. c) Certain immunosuppressant drugs are allowed in this group if taken for ≥6 months and at a stable dose for ≥3 months prior to screening: azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine. Oral corticosteroids are allowed if on a stable dose of <20 mg/day of prednisone (or equivalent dose for other oral corticosteroids) for ≥3 months prior to screening. d) INCAT score: 2-9 (a score of 2 should be exclusively from leg disability component of INCAT). - SOC-Naïve (all criteria a-c must be met): a) Participants without previous treatment for CIDP or participants who received immunoglobulins (IVIg or SCIg) or corticosteroids but were stopped for reasons other than lack of response or side effects. b) Not treated with immunoglobulins (IVIg or SCIg) or corticosteroids for at least 6 months prior to screening. c) INCAT score: 2-9 (a score of 2 should be exclusively from leg disability component of INCAT.
• Documented vaccinations against encapsulated bacterial pathogens given within 5 years of enrollment or initiated a minimum of 14 days prior to first dose
• A female participant must use a double contraception method including a highly effective method of birth control from inclusion and up to 52 weeks plus 30 days after the last study dose and agree not to donate eggs, ova or oocytes during this period.
• A female participant must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum) as required by local regulations within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention.
