• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) and Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MM
• Date of first enrollment: 07/12/2021

Intervention(s)

Cohort 1: TAK-771 for CIDP Participants
TAK-771 includes Immune Globulin Infusion (IGI) 10% and Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20). Participants will receive subcutaneous infusion of rHuPH20 solution at a dose of 80 U/g IgG first, followed by SC infusion of 10% IGI within 10 minutes of completion of the infusion of rHuPH20 solution, every 2, 3, or 4 weeks.

TAK-771 includes IGI 10% and rHuPH20. Participants will receive subcutaneous infusion of rHuPH20 solution at a dose of 80 U/g IgG first, followed by SC infusion of 10% IGI within 10 minutes of completion of the infusion of rHuPH20 solution, every 2, 3, or 4 weeks.

Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome

1.Percentage of Participants with CIDP who Experienced Relapse in Epoch 1
Time Frame; 6 Months
Relapse is 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 is the most widely used assessment tool to measure the functional activity level of patients with CIDP. The INCAT disability scale consists 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 are summed for an overall INCAT disability score ranging from 0 to 10 points, where 0 is normal and 10 is severely incapacitated. An adjusted INCAT disability score is 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.

2.Change in Maximum Grip Strength in the More Affected Hand in Epoch 1 for Participants with MMN
Time Frame; 6 Months
Change in maximum grip strength in the more affected hand in Epoch 1 for participants with MMN will be reported. Per baseline measurement point, investigators will judge which of both hands is more affected.

7.Number of Participants with Serious and Nonserious ARs plus Suspected ARs Associated with Infusions
Time Frame; 45 Months

8.Number of Participants with Treatment-emergent Systemic AEs Associated with Infusions
Time Frame; 45 Months

Time Frame; 45 Months

12.Percentage of Participants with CIDP who Experienced Worsening in Epoch 1
Time Frame; 6 Months
Worsening defined as a >=8 kilo Pascal (kPa) decrease in the hand grip strength in the more affected hand) OR >=4 points decrease in Rasch Built Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS) relative to the pre-SC treatment baseline score at 2 consecutive time points. The R-ODS is a patient self-reported, linearly-weighted overall disability scale that was specifically designed to capture activity and social participation limitations in patients with immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies including CIDP. The R-ODS is comprised of 24 items for which participants are asked to rate their functioning (ie, no difficulty, some difficulty, or could not do) related to a variety of everyday tasks at the moment of completion.

13.Time to Relapse in Participants with CIDP
Time Frame; 45 Months
Time to relapse is defined as time from the date of the first SC administration of TAK-771 to the date of relapse.

14.Change from Baseline in R-ODS Score in Epoch 1 for Participants with CIDP
Time Frame; 6 Months
The R-ODS is a patient self-reported, linearly-weighted overall disability scale that was specifically designed to capture activity and social participation limitations in patients with immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies including CIDP. The R-ODS is comprised of 24 items for which participants are asked to rate their functioning (ie, no difficulty, some difficulty, or could not do) related to a variety of everyday tasks at the moment of completion.

15.Change from Baseline in an Average of Handgrip Strength of Both Hands in Epoch 1 for Participants with CIDP
Time Frame; 6 Months

16.Medical Research Council (MRC) Sum Score in Epoch 1 for Participants with MMN
Time Frame; 6 Months
The MRC sum score will serve as a measure of muscle strength. The following muscles on each side of the body are examined and the strength of each muscle is rated according to the MRC scale: deltoids, biceps, wrist extensors, iliopsoas, quadriceps, and anterior tibialis. The MRC scale ranges 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 are summed to obtain the MRC sum score. The MRC sum score ranges from 0 (paralysis) to 60 (normal strength).

17.Guy's Neurological Disability Scale (GNDS) in Upper Limb and Lower Limb Categories in Epoch 1 for Participants with MMN
Time Frame; 6 Months
Guy's Neurological Disability Scale is a questionnaire which consists of 12 separate categories (4 to 8 questions per category). The categories include: 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 will be used for assessment of the disability of participants with MMN. The severity of each subscale is graded from 0 (normal function) to 5 (total loss of function) based according to severity and impact on the individual.
