Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Phase 1/2 MAD (HV and TED)
Healthy participants and participants with TED will be randomized to receive two intravenous infusions of VRDN-001 or placebo with an interval of 3 weeks.
|
Drug: VRDN-001
Multiple ascending doses of VRDN-001, ranging from 3 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg Drug: Placebo Multiple doses of placebo |
Experimental: Phase 2/3 extension study
Participants with TED will be randomized to one of two VRDN-001 dosing regimens or placebo. The dosing regimens may include doses up to 20 mg/kg with the dosing interval and duration to be defined based on the results of the MAD study part.

Drug: VRDN-001
Multiple doses of VRDN-001 using dosing regimen 1 Drug: VRDN-001 Multiple doses of VRDN-001 using dosing regimen 2 Drug: Placebo Multiple doses of placebo |
- Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: Up to Day 50 for MAD healthy volunteers, up to Day 169 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]
- Proptosis responder rate [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 24 for extension study subjects ]Proportion of TED subjects with a reduction of proptosis of ≥ 2 mm from baseline
- Change from baseline in measurement of proptosis as determined by exophthalmometer [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]
- Change from baseline in volume of orbital fat as determined by MRI [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]
- Change from baseline in volume of extraocular muscles as determined by MRI [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]
- Change from baseline in facial fat volume as determined by MRI [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]
- Change from baseline in Clinical Activity Score (CAS) [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]Each of 7 clinical signs and symptoms of ocular inflammation is scored as present or absent (score of 1 or 0, respectively). The CAS is the sum of the individual scores (range from 0 to 7) where a higher score indicates a greater level of inflammation.
- Change from baseline in Subjective Diplopia Score [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]Diplopia grade is assessed using the Gorman Subjective Diplopia Score (range from 0 to 3) based on verbal responses by the study subject. A higher score indicates a worse diplopia grade.
- Change from baseline in Graves Orbitopathy-Quality of Life (GO-QoL) combined score [ Time Frame: Up to Week 12 for MAD TED subjects, and up to Week 52 for extension study subjects ]
- VRDN-001 concentrations in the blood over time [ Time Frame: Up to Day 50 for MAD subjects and up to Week 25 for extension study subjects ]
- Incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) development in VRDN-001-treated subjects over time [ Time Frame: Up to Day 50 for MAD subjects and up to Week 25 for extension study subjects ]
