Thyroid Eye Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, single/multiple-dose-escalation trial conducted in Chinese participants with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), aiming to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IBI3031 administered via subcutaneous or intravenous injection.
Detailed description
IBI3031 is an IGF-1R(Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor)/TSHR(Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor) bispecific antibody with potential synergistic therapeutic efficacy in TED and modulatory effects on thyroid function. As the first-in-human trial of IBI3031, this study evaluates the safety, tolerability, PK(Pharmacokinetics)/PD(Pharmacodynamics) profiles, immunogenicity, and efficacy of IBI3031 in TED participants. The trial is conducted in two stages: Stage 1- a single-ascending-dose (SAD) study involving single SC or IV administration of IBI3031; Stage 2- a multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) study involving three SC administrations of IBI3031. Approximately 66 TED participants are planned for enrollment: 36 in Stage 1 (allocated at a 3:1 ratio) and 30 in Stage 2 (allocated at a 4:1 ratio).
Interventions
