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.

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
