Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants must be ≥ 18 years of age at Screening
  • Clinical diagnosis of Graves' Disease and/or autoimmune Hashimoto's thyroiditis associated with active moderate to severe TED with a CAS ≥ 3 (on the 7-item scale) for the most severely affected eye (primary study eye) at Screening and Baseline.
  • Moderate to severe active TED (not sight-threatening but has an appreciable impact on daily life), with diagnosis of TED within 15 months prior to the Screening visit and usually associated with 1 or more of the following: lid retraction ≥ 2 mm, moderate or severe soft tissue involvement, proptosis ≥ 3 mm above normal for race and gender, and/or inconstant or constant diplopia.
  • Participants 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 of the central laboratory) 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

  • Any progressing optic neuropathy due to TED that has worsened in the last 6 months in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Corneal decompensation unresponsive to medical management.
  • Previous orbital irradiation or orbital surgery in either eye.
  • Any glucocorticoid use (IV or oral) with a cumulative dose equivalent to ≥ 1 g of methylprednisolone or equivalent for the treatment of TED within 8 weeks of Screening.
  • Prior IGF-1R inhibitor therapy for any condition.

Treatment and study plan

linsitinib

Drug

150 mg linsitinib is taken twice daily by mouth for 24 weeks

Placebo

Drug

0 mg placebo taken twice daily by mouth for 24 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Measure percentage of participants who are Proptosis Responders at Week 24

    Time frame: 24 weeks

    The proptosis responder rate is the percentage of participants with a ≥ 2 mm reduction of proptosis from Baseline in the primary study eye without deterioration (≥ 2 mm increase) of proptosis in the contralateral non-study eye.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean change from Baseline in Proptosis to Week 24

    Time frame: 24 Weeks

    Evaluate the effect of linsitinib 150 mg twice daily versus placebo on the mean change from Baseline to Week 24 in proptosis measurement in the primary study eye.

  2. Evaluate the effect of linsitinib 150 mg twice daily versus placebo on the overall responder rate at Week 24

    Time frame: 24 Weeks

    Overall responder rate (percentage of participants with ≥ 2-point reduction in 7 point CAS and ≥ 2 mm reduction in proptosis from Baseline in the primary study eye), provided there is no corresponding deterioration (≥ 2-point/mm increase) in CAS or proptosis in the contralateral non-study eye at Week 24.

  3. Evaluate the effect of linsitinib 150 mg twice daily versus placebo on the mean change from Baseline to Week 24 in the GO-QoL questionnaire overall score.

    Time frame: 24 Weeks

    Mean change from Baseline to Week 24 in the GO-QoL questionnaire overall score.

  4. Evaluate the effect of linsitinib 150 mg twice daily versus placebo on the percentage of participants with a CAS value of 0 or 1 at Week 24 in the primary study eye.

    Time frame: 24 Weeks

    Percentage of participants with a CAS value of 0 or 1 at Week 24 in the primary study eye.

Other outcomes

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of linsitinib 150 mg twice daily as compared to placebo over a 24-week period.

    Time frame: 24 Weeks

    Incidence of TEAEs (defined as AEs that begin or worsen after the first dose of study drug), treatment-emergent SAEs, deaths, discontinuation due to AEs, clinical safety laboratory results, vital signs, physical and ophthalmic examinations, and ECG parameters.
