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 inactive thyroid eye disease (TED). Approximately 117 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 (inclusive)

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 ≤ 2 points in each eye

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

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

Corneal involvement in the study eye without improvement after appropriate treatment

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

Change from baseline in proptosis measurement of the study eye

See primary outcome measure description for details.

Time frame
week 12, week 24
3

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
4

Change from baseline in Clinical Activity Score (CAS) in the study eye

The CAS, based on the 7-item European Group on Graves' Ophthalmopathy (EUGOGO) amendment, was used to evaluate clinical activity. The CAS ranges from 0 to 7, where higher scores indicate greater disease activity (worse outcome).

Time frame
week 12, week 24
