- Assessment of safety by analysis of adverse events (AEs) data [ Time Frame: 13 weeks ]AE summaries of the number and percent of participants reporting each event at least once will be generated. Other safety data will be summarized descriptively.
- Proportion of proptosis responders in study eye without deterioration in fellow eye at the end of treatment [ Time Frame: 13 weeks ]
- Proptosis responder rate [ Time Frame: Weeks 1-12, weeks 14-20 ]
- Change from baseline in proptosis [ Time Frame: 20 weeks ]
- Change from baseline in Clinical Activity Score (CAS) [ Time Frame: 20 weeks ]
- Proportion of participants with overall ophthalmic improvement [ Time Frame: 20 weeks ]
- Change from baseline in the Gorman Score for diplopia [ Time Frame: 20 weeks ]
- Change from baseline in the Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QOL) [ Time Frame: 20 weeks ]
- Proportion of patients with Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of 0 or 1 [ Time Frame: 20 weeks ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
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 and Baseline (on the 7-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 (IV, oral, steroid eye drops) for the treatment of GO or other conditions within 3 weeks prior to Screening. Steroids cannot be initiated during the trial. Exceptions include topical and inhaled steroids which are allowed.
- 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
