88The primary objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of RV 001 (teprotumumab), a fully human anti-IGF1R antibody, administered q3W for 6 months, in comparison to placebo, in the treatment of participants suffering from active TED.
"Funding Source - FDA OOPD"
A placebo infusion (normal saline) administered q3W by IV infusion over a period of 24 weeks for a total of 8 infusions.
Teprotumumab administered q3W by IV infusion over a period of 24 weeks for a total of 8 infusions. All participants start treatment at a dose of 10 mg/kg. At Week 3, the dose is escalated to 20 mg/kg and kept constant for the remainder of the study.
Inclusion Criteria: Clinical diagnosis of Graves' disease associated with active TED and a clinical activity score of ≥ 4 Fewer than 9 months from onset of TED No previous medical or surgical treatment, excluding local supportive measures and oral steroids if the maximum cumulative dose is less than 1000 mg methylprednisolone or equivalent with at least 6 weeks between last administration of oral steroids and randomization Euthyroid or with mild hypo or hyperthyroidism defined as free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels less than 50% above or below the normal limits (every effort should be made to correct the mild hypo- or hyperthyroidism promptly) Exclusion Criteria: Optic neuropathy Corneal decompensation unresponsive to medical management Oral or IV steroid treatment for any non-TED reason in the preceding 3 months Poorly controlled diabetes Platelets < 100 x 10^9/L Hemoglobin concentration > 2 g/dL below the lower limit of normal

Number of participants classified as responders and non-responders at Week 24. Responders were defined as participants with a reduction in clinical activity score (CAS, see Outcome Measure 4 description for details) of ≥ 2 points, and a reduction in proptosis (amount of protrusion of the eye from the orbital rim) of ≥ 2 mm in the study eye, and no deterioration (increase in CAS of ≥ 2 points or increase in proptosis of ≥ 2 mm) in the non-study eye. Participants who had no assessment at 24 weeks were considered non-responders.
Proptosis is the amount of protrusion of the eye from the orbital rim. Measurements were recorded using the Hertel exophthalmometer. Participants with a decrease ≥ 2 mm were considered improving, those with an increase or decrease < 2 mm were considered remaining stable, and those with an increase ≥ 2 mm were considered worsening.
The GO-QOL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire used to assess the perceived effects of thyroid eye disorder (TED) by the participants on their daily physical and psychosocial functioning. Two subscales of the 16-question GO-QOL have been defined: Visual Functioning and Appearance, with 8 questions comprising each subscale. The transformed overall score is the sum of scores from all 16 questions to a scale of 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health).
The 7-item European Group on Graves' Ophthalmopathy (EUGOGO) amended CAS was used to evaluate clinical activity. For each of the following items, one point is given: spontaneous orbital pain, gaze evoked orbital pain, eyelid swelling that is considered to be due to active (inflammatory phase) Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), eyelid erythema, conjunctival redness that is considered to be due to active (inflammatory phase) GO, chemosis, and inflammation of caruncle or plica. The sum of these points is the total score, with 0 indicating no clinical activity and 7 indicating the most severe clinical activity.
The GO-QOL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire used to assess the perceived effects of TED by the participants on their daily physical and psychosocial functioning. Two subscales of the 16-question GO-QOL have been defined: Visual Functioning and Appearance, with 8 questions comprising each subscale. Transformed Visual Functioning score is the sum of scores from following 8 questions to a scale of 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health): bicycling, driving, moving around the house, walking outdoors, reading, watching television (TV), hobby or pastime, feel hindered.

Two subscales of the 16-question GO-QOL have been defined: Visual Functioning and Appearance, with 8 questions comprising each subscale. Transformed Appearance score is the sum of scores from the following 8 questions to a scale of 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health): feel appearance has changed, feel being stared at, feel people react unpleasantly, influence on self-confidence, feel socially isolated, influence on making friends, appear less often on photos, try to mask changes in appearance.
