TOUR006 for Thyroid Eye Disease (spiriTED Trial)
Phase 2
Recruiting
Research Sponsored by Tourmaline Bio, Inc.
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Proptosis (exophthalmos) ≥3 mm above the normal range (based upon race and gender) for the study eye
Clinical diagnosis of Graves' disease associated with moderate to severe active TED
Must not have
Any previous treatment with teprotumumab or other agent that inhibits the IGF-1 receptor
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up up to 5 years
Summary
This trial tests different amounts of a drug called TOUR006 in patients with active inflammation from Thyroid Eye Disease. The goal is to see if it can reduce inflammation and improve symptoms.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with moderate to severe active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) linked to Graves' disease. Participants must have had TED symptoms start within the last year, a certain level of eye protrusion, and elevated thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin. Those with major illnesses or conditions that could risk their health or skew results, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, recent systemic steroid users for non-TED conditions, and anyone who has used specific TED treatments are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests TOUR006 at doses of 20mg and 50mg against a placebo in patients with active inflammatory phase of TED. The drug is given as an under-the-skin injection every eight weeks. It's designed to see if TOUR006 can safely improve the condition compared to not receiving the active drug.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, common reactions may include irritation at the injection site, potential allergic reactions to ingredients in TOUR006, general discomfort like headaches or nausea following treatment. More serious side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.

In part A of the study, participants will receive a total of three 20 mg subcutaneous injections: 1 injection every 8 weeks (Day 1, Week 8, Week 16) followed by treatment in part B of the study based on proptosis response and rescue therapy use.
Group III: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
In part A of the study, participants will receive a total of three Placebo subcutaneous injections: 1 injection every 8 weeks (Day 1, Week 8, Week 16) followed by treatment in part B of the study based on proptosis response and rescue therapy use.

Other Research
Common treatments for Graves' Ophthalmopathy include corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation by inhibiting multiple inflammatory pathways, and immunomodulatory agents like rituximab, which targets B cells to reduce autoimmune activity. Treatments similar to TOUR006, such as anti-IL-6 or anti-TNF therapies, work by specifically targeting cytokines involved in the inflammatory process.
These mechanisms are crucial for Graves' Ophthalmopathy patients as they help to reduce the inflammation and immune response that cause the characteristic eye symptoms, thereby improving quality of life and preventing further ocular damage.
