Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Responder Status at Week 24 | Week 24 | Number of participants classified as responders and non-responders at Week 24. Responders were defined as participants with a reduction in clinical activity score (CAS, see Outcome Measure 4 description for details) of ≥ 2 points, and a reduction in proptosis (amount of protrusion of the eye from the orbital rim) of ≥ 2 mm in the study eye, and no deterioration (increase in CAS of ≥ 2 points or increase in proptosis of ≥ 2 mm) in the non-study eye. Participants who had no assessment at 24 weeks were considered non-responders. |

| Overall Average Change From Baseline in Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QOL) Scale - Overall to Week 24 (Mixed-Model Repeated Measures [MMRM]) | Baseline to Week 24 | The GO-QOL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire used to assess the perceived effects of thyroid eye disorder (TED) by the participants on their daily physical and psychosocial functioning. Two subscales of the 16-question GO-QOL have been defined: Visual Functioning and Appearance, with 8 questions comprising each subscale. The transformed overall score is the sum of scores from all 16 questions to a scale of 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health). |
| Overall Average Change From Baseline in Proptosis of the Study Eye to Week 24 (MMRM) | Baseline to Week 24 | Proptosis is the amount of protrusion of the eye from the orbital rim. Measurements were recorded using the Hertel exophthalmometer. Participants with a decrease ≥ 2 mm were considered improving, those with an increase or decrease \< 2 mm were considered remaining stable, and those with an increase ≥ 2 mm were considered worsening. |
| Overall Average Change From Baseline in CAS to Week 24 (MMRM) | Baseline to Week 24 | The 7-item European Group on Graves' Ophthalmopathy (EUGOGO) amended CAS was used to evaluate clinical activity. For each of the following items, one point is given: spontaneous orbital pain, gaze evoked orbital pain, eyelid swelling that is considered to be due to active (inflammatory phase) Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), eyelid erythema, conjunctival redness that is considered to be due to active (inflammatory phase) GO, chemosis, and inflammation of caruncle or plica. The sum of these points is the total score, with 0 indicating no clinical activity and 7 indicating the most severe clinical activity. |
