Study Summary

The study is comprised of two cohorts. Cohort 1 will examine pharmacokinetics of K9 in 3 healthy volunteers over 24 hours. This cohort has been completed.

Cohort 2

  • Diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED).

  • Symptomatic TED diagnosed no more than 9 months earlier.

  • Clinical Activity Score ≥ 3 (on 7 point scale) for the worse eye.

  • Subject is willing and able to receive treatment and complete correspondingassessments as required by the protocol.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Cohort 1

  • Body weight less than 55 kg.

  • Females who are pregnant, nursing, planning a pregnancy or who are of childbearingpotential not using a reliable method of contraception.

  • History or current evidence of hypersensitivity to any components of the studymedication, as assessed by the investigator.

  • Participation in any systemic experimental treatment or any other systemicinvestigational new drug within 6 weeks or 5 half-lives of the active ingredient (whichever is longer) prior to the start of study treatment. Clinical trials solelyinvolving observation, over-the-counter vitamins, supplements, or diets are notexclusionary

Cohort 2

  • Body weight less than 55 kg.

  • History or current evidence of a medical condition that may, in the opinion of theinvestigator, preclude the safe administration of study medication or affect theresults of the study.

  • Participation in any systemic experimental treatment or any other systemicinvestigational new drug within 5 half-lives of the active ingredient prior to thestart of study treatment. Clinical trials solely involving observation,over-the-counter vitamins, supplements, or diets are not exclusionary.

  • Clinical activity score < 3

  • Uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension

  • History of mental / psychiatric disorder

  • Hepatic dysfunction (Albumin (Alb), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), AlanineAminotransferase (ALT) and Alkaline phosphates levels must be within normal rangefor eligibility)
