Brief Summary:
This is a double-masked, randomized, parallel-assignment, multicenter trial examining the safety and tolerability of teprotumumab in the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) in adult participants. This international, Phase 3b/4 trial is being conducted to fulfill an FDA post-marketing requirement for a descriptive trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy and need for re-treatment of 3 different teprotumumab treatment durations for TED. In addition, serum samples from participants with a Baseline Clinical Activity Score (CAS) ≥3 will be evaluated for biomarkers of disease.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Thyroid Eye Disease Drug: Teprotumumab Drug: Placebo Phase 4

Detailed Description:

Participants will be screened for eligibility within 4 weeks prior to the Baseline (Day 1) Visit. Approximately 300 participants who meet the trial eligibility criteria will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1:1 ratio in a double-masked fashion (stratified by CAS(clinical activity score) [≥3 (active) or <3 (inactive)] and disease severity [severe disease, defined as both proptosis above normal for race and gender with binocular diplopia at Baseline vs. non-severe disease]) to receive:

  • 4 infusions of teprotumumab (10 mg/kg for the first infusion and 20 mg/kg for the remaining 3 infusions) (Cohort 1) followed by 4 infusions of:

    • Placebo if a participants is a treatment responder at Week 12 or
    • Teprotumumab 20 mg/kg if a participant is a treatment non-responder at Week 12
  • 8 infusions of teprotumumab (10 mg/kg for the first infusion and 20 mg/kg for the remaining 7 infusions) (Cohort 2)
  • 16 infusions of teprotumumab (10 mg/kg for the first infusion and 20 mg/kg for the remaining 15 infusions) (Cohort 3)

Three weeks following the final infusion of the Initial Treatment Period, there will be a comprehensive End-of-Initial Treatment Visit at Week 24 (Cohorts 1 and 2)/Week 48 (Cohort 3). At this visit, all participants will be assessed for treatment response.

Proptosis responders in all cohorts and non-responders in Cohorts 1 and 2 who choose not to receive a second treatment course, will enter a 52 week Initial Follow-up Period.

Proptosis non-responders in Cohorts 1 and 2 who choose to receive a second treatment course (8 infusions) of teprotumumab will receive an infusion q3W.

Proptosis non-responders in Cohort 3 are not eligible for a second treatment course following initial treatment.

Participants in any of the 3 cohorts who are proptosis responders following the Initial Treatment Period and who flare during the Initial Follow up Period will be eligible to receive re treatment.

Drug: Teprotumumab

Teprotumumab is a fully human anti-IGF-1R mAb. Teprotumumab will be provided in single-dose 20-mL glass vials as a freeze-dried powder containing, in addition to the drug substance, 20 mmol/L histidine-histidine chloride, 250 mmol/L trehalose and 0.01% polysorbate 20 (w/w).
