Study Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and immunogenicity of efgartigimod PH20 SC in participants with active, moderate-to-severe TED, compared with placebo PH20 SC.

After the screening period, eligible participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive efgartigimod PH20 SC or placebo PH20 SC, respectively during the double-blinded treatment period (DBTP). At the end of the DBTP, participants may enter a follow-up observational period while off study drug. Some participants may also enter the open-label treatment period with efgartigimod PH20 SC. The study duration varies from approximately 60 to 110 weeks.

  • The participant must have normal thyroid function with the baseline disease undercontrol or have mild hypo or hyperthyroidism at screening. Every effort should bemade to correct the mild hypo or hyperthyroidism promptly and to maintain the normalthyroid function for the full duration of the study

  • Previous orbital irradiation or surgery for TED

  • Use of some medications before screening (more information is found in the protocol)

  • Known autoimmune disease or any medical condition that would interfere with anaccurate assessment of clinical symptoms of TED or puts the participant at unduerisk

Adequately treated participants with thefollowing cancers can be included at any time: Basal cell or squamous cell skincancer, Carcinoma in situ of the cervix, Carcinoma in situ of the breast, Incidentalhistological findings of prostate cancer

  • Clinically significant active infection that is not sufficiently resolved in theinvestigator's opinion or positive serum test at screening for active infection withany of the following: Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV

  • Current participation in another interventional clinical study or previousparticipation in an efgartigimod clinical study and at least 1 dose of study drugreceived or has received at least 1 dose of commercially available efgartigimod

  • Known hypersensitivity to study drug or one of its excipients (inactive ingredients)

  • History of or current alcohol, drug, or medication abuse within 12 months beforescreening as assessed by the investigator
