16. Any other serious medical condition that would interfere with the clinical assessment of CIDP or use of I10E or prevent the patient from complying with the protocol requirements.
17. Increasing dosage or introduction of a systemic corticoids therapy, or corticosteroid therapy at a dose higher than 10 mg prednisolone per day or equivalent within the last 3 months prior to screening. Topical corticosteroids are permitted.
