Graves’ Disease: Understanding

Graves’ Disease: Overview

Graves’ Disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the thyroid gland. It may also affect multiple other organs, including the eyes and skin. It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Graves' disease is caused by thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI), also known as thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAb). B lymphocytes primarily synthesize Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin within the thyroid cells, but it can also be synthesized in lymph nodes and bone marrow. B lymphocytes are stimulated by T lymphocytes which get sensitized by antigen in the thyroid gland. Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin binds with the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor on the thyroid cell membrane and stimulates the action of the thyroid-stimulating hormone. It stimulates both, thyroid hormone synthesis and thyroid gland growth, causing hyperthyroidism and thyromegaly.

Several environmental factors, including pregnancy (mainly postpartum), iodine excess, infections, emotional stress, smoking, and interferon alfa, trigger immune responses on susceptible genes to eventually cause Graves’ disease.

Graves' orbitopathy (ophthalmopathy) is caused by inflammation, cellular proliferation, and increased growth of extraocular muscles and retro-orbital connective and adipose tissues due to the actions of thyroid stimulating antibodies and cytokines released by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (killer cells). These cytokines and thyroid stimulating antibodies activate periorbital fibroblasts and preadipocytes, causing the synthesis of excess hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and retro-orbital fat growth. Glycosaminoglycans cause muscle swelling by trapping water. These changes give rise to proptosis, diplopia, congestion, and periorbital edema. If left untreated, it eventually leads to irreversible fibrosis of the muscles

The pathogenesis of other rare manifestations of Graves’ disease like pretibial myxedema and thyroid acropachy, is poorly understood and believed to be due to cytokines’ mediated stimulation of fibroblasts. Many symptoms of hyperthyroidism like tachycardia, sweating, tremors, lid lag, and staring are thought to be related to increased sensitivity to catecholamine.

Graves’ Disease Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Graves’ Disease report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Graves’ Disease Emerging Drugs

• Batoclimab: Immunovant Sciences GmbH

Batoclimab (IMVT-1401) is a novel, fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). The FcRn receptor facilitates IgG recycling. Batoclimab enhances the degradation of IgG by targeting FcRn and preventing endogenous IgG from binding. This increased catabolism of IgG may curtail the harmful immune response exhibited by auto-antibodies.

In nonclinical studies and in clinical trials conducted, batoclimab was observed to reduce IgG antibody levels. High levels of pathogenic IgG antibodies drive a variety of autoimmune diseases and, as a result, the company believes that this product candidate has the potential to address a variety of IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases as a self-administered subcutaneous injection. The drug is currently being investigated in the Phase III stage of development for the treatment of Graves’ Disease.

• VRDN-001: Viridian Therapeutics

VRDN-001, is a differentiated monoclonal antibody targeting the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), a clinically and commercially validated target for the treatment of thyroid eye disease (TED). In preclinical studies, VRDN-001 was shown to be a full antagonist of IGF-1R, with more complete receptor blockade than other anti-IGF-1R antibodies, including the approved TED therapy.

Data from the initial dose cohorts of the Phase 2 portion of the ongoing trial established clinical proof-of-concept for VRDN-001 in patients with active TED. Preliminary data from the ongoing trial showed treatment with VRDN-001 led to reductions in proptosis, clinical activity score (CAS), and diplopia resolution. VRDN-001 was generally safe and well tolerated in the trial.

The company initiated the THRIVE Phase III trial in patients with active TED to support global marketing registration. VRDN-001 is also being evaluated in Phase II trial cohorts in patients with chronic TED. Pending positive results, the company plans to start its THRIVE-2 Phase III trial in patients with chronic TED.

• Linsitinib: Sling Therapeutics

Linsitinib is an oral small molecule that works by inhibiting the validated IGF-1R target. Linsitinib has established a safety profile through the treatment of over 800 patients. It is also being investigated for the treatment of additional autoimmune and rare diseases. Currently, linsitinib is in a Phase II/III trial for Graves’ Disease.
