Drug RVT-1401

RVT-1401 is a fully human anti-neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) monoclonal antibody.

RVT-1401 Experimental

RVT-1401 680 milligrams (mg) weekly for two weeks followed by 340 mg weekly for four weeks, administered subcutaneously

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Male or female ≥ 18 years of age.
Clinical diagnosis of Graves' disease with hyperthyroidism associated with active, moderate to severe GO with a Clinical Activity Score (CAS) ≥ 4 for the most severely affected eye at Screening (on the 7-item scale) and Baseline (on the 10-item scale).
Onset of active GO within 9 months of screening.
Moderate-to-severe active GO (not sight-threatening but has an appreciable impact on daily life), usually associated with one or more of the following: lid retraction ≥ 2 mm, moderate or severe soft tissue involvement, proptosis ≥ 3 mm above normal for race and gender, and/or inconstant or constant diplopia.
Other, more specific inclusion criteria are defined in the protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

Use of any steroid (intravenous [IV] or oral) with a cumulative dose equivalent to ≥ 1 g of methylprednisolone for the treatment of GO within 3 weeks prior to Screening.
Use of rituximab, tocilizumab, or any monoclonal antibody for immunomodulation within the past 9 months prior to Baseline.
Total IgG level < 6g/L at Screening.
Absolute neutrophil count <1500 cells/mm3 at Screening.
Participants with decreased best corrected visual acuity due to optic neuropathy as defined by a decrease in vision of 2 lines on the Snellen chart, new visual field defect, or color defect secondary to optic nerve involvement within the last 6 months at Screening.
Previous orbital irradiation or surgery for GO.
Other, more specific exclusion criteria are defined in the protocol

All Events

Event Type Organ System Event Term RVT-1401

Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE), Serious AE (SAE), Treatment-related Adverse Event (AE), and Death During the 6-week Treatment Period

AEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as AEs that either started on or after the date of the first dose of study drug and on or before the date of the last dose of study drug + 42 days, or had no recorded start date and the stop date was in between the date of the first dose and the last dose of study drug + 42 days. SAEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event that may have jeopardized the participant or may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition.

RVT-1401

Percent Change From Baseline in Total Immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 Levels

The serum levels of total IgG and IgG subclasses (1-4) were determined. Percent change from Baseline was calculated as the mean value at the specified time frame (Week 7, Week 6 and 7 combined) minus the Baseline value, divided by the Baseline value x 100. A negative percent change from Baseline represents clinical improvement.

Mean Change From Baseline in Levels of Anti-thyroid-stimulating Hormone Receptor (Anti-TSHR) Antibodies at Week 7

The serum levels of anti-TSHR antibodies were determined. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 7 value minus the Baseline value. A negative change from Baseline represents clinical improvement.

Mean Change From Baseline in Proptosis in the Study Eye and Non-study Eye at Week 7

The study eye was defined as the most severely affected eye at the Baseline visit. In the event that both eyes were affected the same, the right eye was deemed as the study eye. Participants who did not achieve a proptosis response were censored at the date of their last proptosis measurement that occurred in both eyes. Change from Baseline was calculated as the Week 7 value minus the Baseline value. A negative change from Baseline represents clinical improvement.

Number of Participants With an Overall Proptosis Response

Proptosis responders were defined as participants with a ≥2 mm reduction in study eye without deterioration (≥2 mm increase) in the fellow eye. Participants who did not achieve a proptosis response were censored at the date of their last proptosis measurement that occurred in both eyes.

Number of Participants With Anti-RVT-1401 Antibody and Confirmed Anti-RVT-1401 Antibody at Week 7

The serum levels of anti-RVT-1401 antibodies were determined. In the initial analysis the samples with responses equal to or above the plate-specific cut-point were identified as potentially positive while those below the cut-point were considered negative. These potentially positive samples were reanalyzed in confirmatory assay. Samples with percent inhibition greater than or equal to the confirmatory cut-point were considered confirmed positive and those below were considered negative.
