ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called AMG 732 to see if it is safe and well-tolerated when given as a single injection under the skin. The focus is on participants who have thyroid eye disease, a condition that can cause swelling and discomfort around the eyes. The trial is currently looking for healthy participants aged 18 to 55 years, and those who are of Japanese descent must meet specific criteria related to their ancestry and residency.

If you decide to participate, you will undergo some health checks to ensure you are in good general health, which includes tests on your heart and blood. Participants will receive the study treatment and will be monitored closely for any side effects. It's important to know that there are specific health conditions and recent medical history that could make someone ineligible to join, including certain liver issues, heart problems, or recent surgeries. This study aims to gather important information that could help in treating thyroid eye disease in the future.

• • Healthy Japanese participants in cohort 4 only. Japanese participants must meet all the following as confirmed by interview: Descendants of 4 ethnic Japanese grandparents who were born in Japan; Both parents are ethnic Japanese who were born in Japan; Hold a Japanese passport or identity papers; Have lived outside Japan for less than 10 years at the time of screening and lifestyle including diet has not changed significantly since leaving Japan.

• • Male or female aged 18 to 65 years.
• • Moderate-to-severe active TED.
• • The participant had onset of active TED within 15 months prior to baseline.
• • Clinical diagnosis of Graves' disease associated with active TED with a Clinical Activity Score (CAS)≥3 for the most severely affected eye at screening and baseline.
• • Proptosis ≥18mm in the study eye at baseline.
• • Participants with baseline subjective binocular diplopia score \>0.
• • Does not require immediate surgical ophthalmological intervention and is not planning corrective surgery/irradiation during the trial.
• Exclusion:
• • Malignant condition in the past 12 months (except successfully treated basal/squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cervical cancer in situ).
• • Active liver disease or hepatic dysfunction at screening, as determined by ALT (alanine aminotransferase) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels \> 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (Part A) / \>3 times ULN or glomerular filtration rate ≤ 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 at screening (Part B).
• • Positive test for hepatitis B serology at screening defined as: (1) positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); OR (2) positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb). Participants HBsAg negative, hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) positive and HBcAb negative due to vaccination are eligible for the study. Participants HBsAg negative and HBsAb positive for which the cause cannot be determined as vaccination will be considered ineligible for the study.
• • Positive test for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody at screening or within the last 12 months. Participants successfully treated for an HCV infection are allowed to participate if a sustained virologic response was achieved, defined as aviremia 24 weeks after completion of the antiviral therapy.

• • The participant has a major surgery within 8 weeks prior to screening or plans to have an elective surgery from screening through end of study.
• • Donated blood, or had significant blood loss, or received a transfusion of any blood or blood products within 60 days prior to day 1 dosing or received a plasma donation within 7 days prior to day 1 dosing.
• • The participant has a seated resting blood pressure of \< 90/40 mmHg or \> 140/90 mmHg, or a seated pulse rate of \< 40 beats per minute (bpm) or \> 99 bpm or is considered clinically significant at screening. One additional measurement can be taken if blood pressure and pulse rate are outside the specified limits.

• • Use of any steroid (IV, oral, steroid eye drops) within 3 weeks prior to the first dose. Steroids cannot be initiated during the trial. Exceptions include topical and inhaled steroids and steroids used to treat injection site reactions.
• Exclusion criteria for Part B/Phase 2 only:
