E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Main Exclusion Criteria:

2. History of hyperthyroidism not caused by Graves’ disease (e.g. toxic multinodular goiter, autonomous thyroid nodule, or acute inflammatory thyroiditis) and/or history or presence of thyroid storm (fever, profuse sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, delirium, severe weakness, seizures, markedly irregular heartbeat, yellow skin and eyes (jaundice), severe low blood pressure, and coma).
3. Previous treatment with a B cell-depleting biologic agent or any other immune-modulatory biologic agent within 5 half-lives (experimental or approved).
4. History of recurrent clinically significant infection or of recurrent bacterial infections with encapsulated organisms.
5. History of primary or secondary immunodeficiency, including a positive HIV (ELISA and Western blot) test result.
6. History or evidence of tuberculosis by either of the following tests:
• Positive PPD skin test (size of induration measured after 48-72 hours, and a positive result is defined as an induration of ≥ 5mm or according to local practice/guidelines) OR
• Positive QuantiFERON TB-Gold test
7. Plans for immunization with a live vaccine within a 2-month period before enrollment or during the study period.
8. Treatment with immunomodulatory drugs, such as cyclosporine A, methotrexate, and/or cyclophosphamide within 3 months from baseline. Glucocorticosteroid therapy with prednisolone up to 10 mg daily is permitted if patients are on stable dose for more than 3 months before enrollment in the study.
9. Pregnant, breastfeeding females, and women of child bearing potential unless they are using highly effective contraception
• other protocol-defined exclusion criteria may apply |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Proportion of patients whose TSH levels normalize (above 0.35 mU/L) after 12 weeks of treatment. They will also be assessed by the difference in mean total T3 and free T4 between baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment.
