Abstract
Let \(\varGamma = (X,R)\) be a connected graph. Then \(\varGamma \) is said to be a completely regular clique graph of parameters (s, c) with \(s\ge 1\) and \(c\ge 1\), if there is a collection \({\mathcal {C}}\) of completely regular cliques of size \(s+1\) such that every edge is contained in exactly c members of \({\mathcal {C}}\). In the previous paper (Suzuki in J Algebr Combin 40:233–244, 2014), we showed, among other things, that a completely regular clique graph is distance-regular if and only if it is a bipartite half of a certain distance-semiregular graph. In this paper, we show that a completely regular clique graph with respect to \({\mathcal {C}}\) is distance-regular if and only if every \({\mathcal {T}}(C)\)-module of endpoint zero is thin for all \(C\in {\mathcal {C}}\). We also discuss the relation between a \({\mathcal {T}}(C)\)-module of endpoint 0 and a \({\mathcal {T}}(x)\)-module of endpoint 1 and study examples of completely regular clique graphs.

Notes
It will be shown that each member of \({\mathcal {C}}\) is a maximal clique if \(d(\varGamma ) >1\). See a remark preceding Lemma 5.
This condition is not stated in [12]. If we do not have this condition, we need to allow \({\mathcal {C}}\) to be a multi-set. We do not need this condition if \(c_2^Y\) exists and \(d^Y\ge 3\).
This class can be seen as a special case of C.
