Brief summary
This is a clinical trial assessing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an investigational drug, VRDN-003, in participants with chronic Thyroid Eye Disease (TED).
Detailed description
This is a randomized (meaning participants will be assigned to study arms by chance), double-masked (meaning study doctor and participant will not know which study arm participant is assigned to), placebo-controlled study that will include participants with chronic TED. The key objectives of this study are to determine if VRDN-003 is efficacious, safe and tolerable when administered as subcutaneous/SC injections every 4 weeks or every 8 weeks compared to placebo in participants with chronic TED. Participants who do not have a meaningful response at Week 24 (irrespective of the initial treatment arm) may be eligible to receive additional subcutaneous injections of VRDN-003.
Interventions
VRDN-003 is an investigational, subcutaneously administered, humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R).
All participants will receive the same number of injections to maintain masking. Masking will be maintained by the use of placebo injections that appear identical to VRDN-003 injections.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Must have moderate to severe chronic TED, with any CAS (0-7) on the 7-item scale, and with documented evidence of ocular symptoms or signs that began greater than 15 months prior to screening * Must agree to use highly effective contraception as specified in the protocol * Female TED participants must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening Key
Exclusion criteria
* Must not have received prior treatment with another anti-IGF-1R therapy * Must not have received systemic corticosteroids or steroid eye drops for any condition, including TED, or selenium within 2 weeks prior to first dose. * Must not have received other immunosuppressive drugs for any condition, including TED, or any other therapy for TED within 12 weeks prior to first dose * Must not have received an investigational agent for any condition, including TED, within 8 weeks or longer duration (depending on the type of investigational agent) prior to first dose * Must not have received radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment within 8 weeks prior to first dose * Must not have had previous orbital irradiation or decompression surgery for TED to the study eye's orbit * Must not have a pre-existing ophthalmic condition in the study eye which in the study doctor's opinion, would interfere with interpretation of study results * Must not have abnormal hearing test before first dose. Must also not have a history of ear conditions considered significant by study doctor * Must not have a history of inflammatory bowel disease * Female TED participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding NOTE: There are additional eligibility criteria for participants who do not have a meaningful response at Week 24 (irrespective of initial treatment arm) who may receive additional injections of VRDN-003. These are described in the protocol.
