Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Conditions
Interventions
In part A, participants will be randomized to the empasiprubart group or the IVIg group in a 2:1 ratio to 1 of 2 arms. In empasiprubart group, empasiprubart will be administered intravenously (IV) plu

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Is at least 18 years of age and the local legal age of consent for clinical studies when signing the ICF. 2. Has a confirmed diagnosis of definite or probable MMN at screening according to the EFNS/PNS 2010 guidelines and confirmed by the MCC. 3. Has responded to IVIg in the past 5 years. 4. Is receiving IVIg at a treatment interval of once every 2, 3, 4, or 5 weeks, and a dose of 0.4 to 2.0 g/kg body weight per cycle. 5. Minimum converted weekly IVIg dose of >= 0.125 g/kg. 6. Is receiving an optimal IVIg maintenance regimen (as assessed by the investigator, with no changes in frequency, and no change in dose >10%) for at least 8 weeks before screening (or at least 10 weeks for participants receiving IVIg once every 5 weeks) and will receive the same regimen until baseline (day 1) with at least 2 recorded IVIg cycles during screening. The maintenance regimen will be confirmed by the MCC. 7. Has documented immunization against encapsulated bacterial pathogens (N meningitidis and S pneumoniae) within 5 years of screening or is willing to receive immunization at least 14 days before first IMP administration.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Besides the indication under study, known autoimmune disease (eg, SLE) or any other medical condition (eg, diabetic neuropathy, CIDP, inflammatory arthritis, or osteoarthritis affecting the hand) that would confound the study results or put the participant at undue risk 2. Clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of neuropathies other than MMN, such as motor neuron disease (eg, bulbar signs, brisk reflexes) or other inflammatory neuropathies (eg, sensory neuropathy)
