Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of otelixizumab in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (thyroid eye disease). There is currently no alternative therapy available for this condition other than treatment with steroids, or radiotherapy and surgery. The study also includes a comparison of the current steroid treatment, methylprednisolone, with the proposed new otelixizumab treatment.
Detailed description
This is a study of otelixizumab, a monoclonal antibody (MAb) directed against the human lymphocyte antigen CD3 (a protein found on a certain type of white blood cell). This will be an open-label, comparator-controlled, two part study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of otelixizumab in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). It will also look to see if otelixizumab affects GO and how it works compared to methylprednisolone (the standard treatment for active GO). In Part A, between one and four groups of 5 patients will receive doses of otelixizumab administered over 8 days. The first dose level will provide a low cumulative dose, this low dose level has been safely administered in previous studies. Safety and clinical response data will be reviewed after 8 weeks, if no clinical response is seen and there are no safety concerns, the dose of otelixizumab will be increased and a new group of subjects will enter Part A. In subsequent groups cumulative medium low, medium high, and high doses of otelixizumab may be investigated. However if a clinical response is seen at the lowest dose the study will move directly to Part B. In Part B, patients will receive either otelixizumab at the dose set from Part A, over 8 days (5 patients) or methylprednisolone weekly for 12 weeks (5 patients). All dosing will be by intravenous infusion. All participants will undergo long term safety evaluation for 48 months. Key assessments include vital signs, 12-lead ECG, liver function tests, thyroid function, viral monitoring, monitoring of cortisol and ACTH levels, laboratory safety tests and adverse event (side effect) data. Assessment of GO severity will be evaluated using recommended assessments including clinical activity assessments and quality of life questionnaires. Measurements of exploratory biomarkers (proteins found naturally in the blood) are also included in this study.

Change From Baseline for Individual Scores at Week 12 Incorporated in the European Group on Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) Assessment Including, Eyelid Swelling, Clinical Activity Score (CAS) Score, Proptosis, Lid Width and Diplopia
The EUGOGO assessment of change was defined by improvement or deterioration of clinical scores. Improvement in EUGOGO was defined as improvement in two of the following measures in at least one eye, without deterioration in any of the same measures in both eyes: eyelid swelling according to color atlas evaluation, CAS by at least 2 points, proptosis by at least 2 millimeter (mm) by Hertel exophthalmometer, lid width by at least 2 mm, diplopia (disappearance or change in the degree) or improvement of \>=8 degrees in motility unexplained by commensurate deterioration of motility of ipsilateral antagonists. Deterioration was defined by worsening by same quantity (as for improvement) of the same measures. Baseline was referred to assessment on Day 1 (pre dose). Change from Baseline was defined as post-Baseline value minus Baseline value. This endpoint was not analyzed due to the early termination of the study and since only 2 participants were recruited.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1, pre dose) and Week 12
Population: All Subjects Population. No participants were available for analysis because of early termination of study.
