The main purpose of this study is to look at how efgartigimod affects thyroid function in adults with Graves' Disease (GD). The study will also check whether efgartigimod is safe and well tolerated. It will look at how efgartigimod is distributed and eliminated in the body, how it changes antibody levels, and how the immune system responds to it. The study consists of a part A double-blinded treatment period, a part B treatment/observation period and a part C open-label treatment/observation period. During the part A and part B treatment periods, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC via Prefilled Syringe (PFS) or placebo. During the part C open-label treatment period, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC PFS. Participation in the different parts of the study will depend on the participant's response to treatment. The total study duration for participants ranges from 63 to 135 weeks, depending on the response to treatment. More information can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.argenx.com/vitalithy

Change in ThyPRO-39 over time
The Thyroid-Specific Patient-Reported Outcome Short Form (ThyPRO-39) 39 item version of the ThyPRO. Each item is related to a specific aspect of the participant's experience with their thyroid condition. Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale, and the scores are then transformed to a 0-to-100 scale. Higher scores indicate worse health status.
Time frame: Up to 135 weeks
Change in PROMIS-PF10a over time
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function-10 item (PROMIS-PF10a) is a self-administered physical functioning assessment comprising 10 items that measure respondents' ability to perform common physical tasks. Scoring involves summing the numerical responses to each item; higher scores indicate better physical function.
Time frame: Up to 135 weeks
