Blocking the TSH receptor with human monoclonal autoantibody K1-70TM in patients with graves’ disease – results from a phase 1 clinical trial

Furmaniak Jadwiga , Sanders Jane , Sanders Paul , Li Yang , Rees Smith Bernard

Objectives: TSH receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies (TRAb) which mimic the actions of TSH are responsible for hyperthyroidism in Graves’ disease (GD) which is often associated with Graves’ orbitopathy (GO). K1-70 is a TSHR specific human monoclonal autoantibody which binds to the TSHR with high affinity and prevents stimulation of the TSHR by TSH and TRAb. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmocodynamic and immunogenic effects of K1-70 in patients with GD were asse...

Background: Accumulating evidence indicates the presence of bidirectional cross-talks between the endocrine and the immune system. However, no data are available on the influence of either the thyroid hormones or TSH within the normal range on the immune cell function in healthy humans.Aim: To comprehensively investigate the effects of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis on the variation of immune responses in a cohort of healthy volunteers.<p cl...
