About this trial

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) characteristics of KHN939 in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe active thyroid eye disease (TED). Approximately 60 participants who meet the study eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (stratified by smoking status) to receive 8 infusions of KHN939 or placebo q3W.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Aged 18-70 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF), male or female

Weight between 45 kg and 100 kg

Proptosis ≥18 mm, accompanied by at least one of the following: (a) eyelid retraction ≥2 mm; (b) moderate to severe soft tissue involvement; (c) intermittent or continuous diplopia

CAS ≥ 3 points

Disqualifiers

Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study drug formulation, or prior hypersensitivity to any monoclonal antibodies

Proptosis at Day 1 (pre-dose) that has decreased by ≥2 mm relative to screening

CAS at Day 1 (pre-dose) that has decreased by ≥2 points relative to screening

Prior or investigator-assessed diagnosis of dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) at screening

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The proptosis responder rate of the study eye

Defined as percentage of subjects with a ≥ 2mm reduction from Baseline in proptosis in the study eye, without deterioration \[≥ 2 mm increase\] of proptosis in the non-study eye at Week 24. Proptosis assessment: amount of protrusion of the eye from the orbital rim measured by Hertel exophthalmometer.

Time frame
Week 24

Secondary outcomes

1

Proptosis responder rate in the study eye

See primary outcome measure description for details.

Time frame
Week 12
2

Overall responder rate in the study eye

Defined as study eye CAS reduced ≥2 points from baseline AND proptosis reduced ≥2 mm from baseline,without deterioration (without deterioration: CAS increase \<2 points AND proptosis increase \<2 mm) in the fellow eye.

Time frame
week 12, week 24
3

Change from baseline in proptosis measurement of the study eye

See primary outcome measure description for details.

Time frame
week 12, week 24
4

Change in Quality of Life (GO-QoL) Scores

The GO-QoL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire divided into 2 subsets and used to assess the perceived effects of TED by the subjects on (i) their daily physical activity as it relates to visual function, and (ii) psychosocial functioning. The range of the GO-QoL overall transformed scores is 0 to 100, where higher values correspond to better quality of life.

Time frame
week 12, week 24

Other outcomes

1

Change from baseline in ocular motility of the study eye

Time frame
week 12, week 24
2

The number, incidence, severity, and relevance to study drugs or treatments of all ocular and other systemic AEs, TEAEs, AESIs, and SAEs

Time frame
From the Screening period through study completion, with each participant completing all study visits over approximately 28 weeks, comprising a Screening Period (up to 4 weeks), a Treatment Period (21 weeks), and a Safety Follow-up Period (3 weeks).
3

Incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and neutralizing antibodies (NAbs)

Time frame
Up to Week 24
4

Serum Drug Concentration

Serum drug concentrations will be collected at the following scheduled time points: * Pre-dose (within 1 hour before infusion) and end-of-infusion (within 5 minutes after infusion completion) at Dose 1 (Week 0/Day 1), Dose 2 (Week 3), Dose 3 (Week 6), and Dose 5 (Week 12) * A single sample at Week 1 (Day 8) * A single sample at Week 24 or at early termination Serum concentration data from all sampling time points will be used to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model and characterize the pharmacokinetics of KHN939.

Time frame
Pre-dose and end-of-infusion at Doses 1, 2, 3, and 5, with additional samples at Week 1 and Week 24 (or early termination), up to Week 24
