Brief Summary
CIDP is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body's germ fighting (immune) system attacks itself. In CIDP, the immune system attacks the protective covering around the nerves called myelin. Over time, these nerves lose their ability to send signals to the muscles in the body. This leads to muscle weakness and loss of sensation in arms and legs among other symptoms. Participants with CIDP can be treated with a protein called immunoglobulin (or IG). TAK-411 is a special type of immune globulin G (hsIgG) that has been chemically changed. It is made from IG that comes from human plasma. This study will test if TAK-411 can decrease inflammation and improve symptoms of CIDP. The main aim of this study is to check how TAK-411 affects the physical functioning of adults with CIDP when compared with results of the placebo group of a historical trial. Participants may be treated with TAK-411 for up to 1 year (51 weeks) and will be followed up for 3 weeks after last dose. During the study, participants may visit their study clinic up to approximately 21 times.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants With Improvement in Functional Ability at Week 24
Improvement in functional ability is defined as decrease of \>=1 point in INCAT score at Week 24 compared with baseline (last assessment before first investigational product \[IP\] administration on Day 1). INCAT disability scale consists of upper and lower extremity components, which are scored based on a participant's level of impairment/disability in their arms and legs, respectively. Each component is scored from 0 to 5 points, which are summed for an overall INCAT disability score ranging from 0 to 10 points, where a score of 0 indicates no signs of disability (example, no upper limb problems and walking not affected) and a score of 10 indicates most severe disability (example, inability to move either arm for any purposeful movement and restricted to a wheelchair, unable to stand and walk a few steps with help). Adjusted INCAT disability score remains identical to INCAT disability score, except that changes in upper limb function from 0 (normal) to 1 (minor symptoms) are excluded.

Study Arms (1)
TAK-411
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive TAK-411 400 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), IV infusion as an induction dose on Day 1 of initial treatment period. The induction dose may be repeated once after 3 weeks if participants exhibit no clinical change. Thereafter, participants will receive TAK-411 200 mg/kg, IV infusion every 3 weeks for a total of 24 weeks (initial treatment period), followed by an optional additional 27 weeks (extended treatment period).
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The participant is at least 18 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
- The participant has a body weight of less than or equal to (\<=) 150 kilogram (kg).
- The participant has a documented diagnosis of typical CIDP, as confirmed by a neurologist specializing/experienced in neuromuscular diseases and consistent with the European Academy of Neurology/Peripheral Nerve Society (EAN/PNS) 2021 criteria.
- The participant has responded to IgG treatment in the past (documented partial or complete resolution of neurological symptoms and deficits).
- The participant has had disease activation within 24 months before screening, as documented in medical records and in the opinion of the investigator, defined as one of the following:
- Clinically meaningful deterioration of symptoms on interruption or dose reduction of IgG treatment.
- Clinically meaningful deterioration of symptoms requiring IgG treatment dose increase with subsequent clinical improvement.
- Clinically meaningful deterioration of symptoms at the end of IgG treatment dose interval with improvement after next dose administration.
- The participant is on a stable dose of immunoglobulin treatment intravenously (IGIV) treatment, (within the dose range of 0.4 to 2.4 grams per kilogram \[g/kg\] every 2 to 6 weeks \[inclusive\]). A stable dose is defined as no change greater than 10 percentage (%) in frequency or dose of IGIV therapy within the 3 months before and throughout screening.
- The participant has an INCAT score between 0 and 7 (inclusive) at screening.
You may not qualify if:
- The participant has a documented diagnosis of a CIDP variant per EAN/PNS 2021 criteria.
- The participant has any neuropathy of other causes, including the following:
- Hereditary demyelinating neuropathies, such as hereditary sensory and motor neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies.
- Neuropathies secondary to infections, disorders, or systemic diseases such as Borrelia burgdorferi infection (Lyme disease), diphtheria, systemic lupus erythematosus, POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes) syndrome, osteosclerotic myeloma, diabetic and nondiabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy, lymphoma, amyloidosis.
- Multifocal motor neuropathy.
- Drug-, biologic-, chemotherapy-, or toxin-induced peripheral neuropathy.
- Diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
- The participant has any chronic or debilitating disease, or central nervous disorder that causes neurological symptoms or that may interfere with assessment of CIDP or outcome measures, including (but not limited to) multiple sclerosis, arthritis, stroke, and Parkinson's disease.
- The participant is required to take or has taken either of the following for treatment of CIDP:
- Immunomodulatory/immunosuppressive agents (except IGIV) that include, but are not limited to, complement inhibitors, efgartigimod, and chemotherapeutic drugs, within 3 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, of screening.
- B-cell affecting biologics (e.g. rituximab) within 6 months of screening.
- Note: Participants on a long-term, stable dosing regimen of certain immunomodulatory agents (eg, hydroxychloroquine) for any disease other than CIDP may be eligible, provided the dose regimen has been stable for 3 months before screening and is expected to remain stable throughout the study.
- The participant has undergone plasma exchange within 3 months of screening.
- The participant has a history of malignancy with less than 2 years of complete remission before screening, or active malignancy requiring chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
- Note: Participants with adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or stable prostate cancer not requiring treatment are eligible.
