Veligrotug (VRDN-001) Phase 1/2 MAD (HV and TED)

Clinical Study ID

NCT05176639
VRDN-001-101
  • Ages > 18
  • All Genders
  • Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Study Summary

The investigational drug, veligrotug (VRDN-001), is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the activity of a cell surface receptor called insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Inhibition of IGF-1R may help to reduce the inflammation and associated tissue swelling that occurs in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). The primary objective of this clinical trial is to establish the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of veligrotug, and the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of veligrotug in active TED patients who received 10 mg/kg.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria for Active TED Participants (THRIVE):

  • Must have moderate to severe active TED with documented evidence of ocular symptoms or signs that began within 15 months prior to screening

  • Must have Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of ≥ 3 on the 7-item scale for the study eye

  • Must agree to use highly effective contraception as specified in the protocol

  • Female TED participants must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening

Key Exclusion Criteria for Active TED Participants (THRIVE):

  • Must not have received prior treatment with another anti-IGF-1R therapy or any investigational agent for TED

  • Must not have used systemic corticosteroids or selenium within 2 weeks prior to Day 1

  • Must not have received rituximab, tocilizumab or other immunosuppressive agents or any other therapy for TED within 8 weeks prior to Day 1

  • Must not have received an investigational agent for any condition with 8 weeks prior to Day 1
