A Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Efgartigimod PH20 SC PFS in Adult Participants With Graves' Disease

United States, Georgia230 participantsStarted 2026-06-10

Plain-language summary

The main purpose of this study is to look at how efgartigimod affects thyroid function in adults with Graves' Disease (GD). The study will also check whether efgartigimod is safe and well tolerated. It will look at how efgartigimod is distributed and eliminated in the body, how it changes antibody levels, and how the immune system responds to it. The study consists of a part A double-blinded treatment period, a part B treatment/observation period and a part C open-label treatment/observation period. During the part A and part B treatment periods, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC via Prefilled Syringe (PFS) or placebo. During the part C open-label treatment period, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC PFS. Participation in the different parts of the study will depend on the participant's response to treatment. The total study duration for participants ranges from 63 to 135 weeks, depending on the response to treatment. More information can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.argenx.com/vitalithy

Inclusion Criteria: * Is at least 18 years of age and the local legal age of consent for clinical studies when signing the ICF. * Has a documented diagnosis of GD with TRAb (anti-thyrotropin receptor antibody) levels \>=ULN (upper limit of normal) at screening. * Has active hyperthyroidism due to GD with TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) \<0.1 mIU/L at screening. * Has been treated with MMI (methimazole) or CBZ (carbimazole) for at least 3 months before screening. Exclusion Criteria: * History of hyperthyroidism not caused by GD (eg, toxic adenoma or toxic multinodular goiter). * History of RAI (radioactive iodine) therapy or received a total thyroidectomy. * T3- or T4-containing medication or supplement (eg, levothyroxine, liothyronine, desiccated thyroid preparations, or thyroid-support supplements) received \<6 weeks before screening. * Any complication of hyperthyroidism or underlying medical condition that would put the participant at undue risk. This includes arrhythmia or tachyarrhythmia related to GD, such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter not sufficiently controlled with medications. * Graves' orbitopathy/Thyroid Eye Disease (GO/TED) requiring systemic therapy (eg, corticosteroids), orbital injections, orbital surgery, or orbital radiation, or expected immediate surgical intervention and/or planned corrective surgery/irradiation or medical therapy during the study.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
