A Phase 2b, Study of Linsitinib in Subjects With Active, Moderate to Severe Thyroid Eye Disease (TED)

The overall objective is to study the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of linsitinib (a small molecule IGF-1R inhibitor) administered orally twice daily (BID) vs. placebo, at 24 weeks in the treatment of subjects with active, moderate to severe thyroid eye disease (TED).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Clinical diagnosis of Graves' Disease and/or autoimmune Hashimoto's thyroiditis associated with active moderate to severe TED with a CAS ≥ 4 (on the 7- item scale) for the most severely affected eye (primary study eye) at Screening and Baseline
  • Confirmed active TED (not sight-threatening but has an appreciable impact on daily life, with onset (as determined by patient records) within 12 months prior to the Baseline visit and usually associated with one or more of the following: lid retraction ≥ 2 mm, moderate or severe soft tissue involvement, exophthalmos ≥ 3 mm above normal for race and gender, and/or inconstant or constant diplopia.
  • Subjects must be euthyroid with the participant's baseline disease under control or have mild hypo- or hyperthyroidism (defined as free thyroxine [FT4] and free triiodothyronine levels [FT3] < 50% above or below the normal limits) at Screening.
  • Does not require immediate ophthalmic surgery, radiotherapy to orbits or other ophthalmological intervention at the time of Screening and is not planning for any such treatment during the course of the study.

Exclusion criteria

  • Decreased best corrected visual acuity due to optic neuropathy as defined by a decrease in vision of 2 lines on the Snellen chart, new visual field defect, or color defect secondary to optic nerve involvement within the last 6 months.
  • Corneal decompensation unresponsive to medical management.
  • Previous orbital irradiation or orbital surgery.
  • Any glucocorticoid use (intravenous [IV] or oral) with a cumulative dose equivalent to >= 1g of methylprednisolone or equivalent for the treatment of TED within 3 months of Screening.
  • Prior IGF-1R inhibitor therapy for any condition.

Treatment and study plan

linsitinib

Drug

Study medication taken twice daily by mouth

Placebo

Drug

Placebo taken twice daily by mouth

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects Who Are Proptosis Responders at Week 24

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    Proptosis response is defined as a ≥ 2 mm reduction from Baseline in the primary study eye without deterioration (≥ 2 mm increase) of proptosis in the contralateral non-study eye.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects Who Are Overall Responders at Week 24

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    Overall response is defined as a >= 2-point reduction from baseline CAS and >= 2 mm reduction in proptosis in the primary study eye at week 24 without deterioration (>= 2-point increase) in CAS or deterioration (>= 2 mm increase) of proptosis in the contralateral non-study eye. In the event of death, the latest CAS/proptosis observations will be carried forward. Missing values of CAS and proptosis measurement in the primary study eye and contralateral non-study eye at week 24 are multiple imputed by using all available prior CAS/proptosis measures, smoking status and treatment group.

  2. Percentage of Subjects With a CAS Value of 0 or 1 at Week 24

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    A CAS value of 0 or 1 in primary study eye at week 24. In the event of death, the latest CAS observation will be carried forward.

    Missing values of CAS at week 24 are multiple imputed by using all available prior CAS measures, smoking status and treatment group

  3. Change From Baseline in the Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QoL) Questionnaire Overall Score to Week 24.

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    Change from baseline to week 24 in Graves' Ophthalmology Quality of Life (GO-QoL) overall score or to last assessed value in case of death. Missing values of GO-QoL overall score up to week 24 are multiple imputed by using all available prior GO-QoL overall score measures, smoking status and treatment group.

    Overall scale was measured from 0 minimum to 100 maximum (0 is worse health state and 100 is best health state)
