This is a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, and population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) characteristics of KHN939 in Chinese patients with moderate-to-severe inactive thyroid eye disease (TED). Approximately 117 participants who meet the study eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (stratified by smoking status) to receive 8 infusions of KHN939 or placebo q3W.

The proptosis responder rate of the study eye
Defined as percentage of subjects with a ≥ 2mm reduction from Baseline in proptosis in the study eye, without deterioration \[≥ 2 mm increase\] of proptosis in the non-study eye at Week 24. Proptosis assessment: amount of protrusion of the eye from the orbital rim measured by Hertel exophthalmometer.
Time frame: Week 24
Proptosis responder rate in the study eye
See primary outcome measure description for details.
Time frame: Week 12
Change from baseline in proptosis measurement of the study eye
See primary outcome measure description for details.
Time frame: week 12, week 24
Change in Quality of Life (GO-QoL) Scores
The GO-QoL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire divided into 2 subsets and used to assess the perceived effects of TED by the subjects on (i) their daily physical activity as it relates to visual function, and (ii) psychosocial functioning. The range of the GO-QoL overall transformed scores is 0 to 100, where higher values correspond to better quality of life.
Time frame: week 12, week 24
Change from baseline in Clinical Activity Score (CAS) in the study eye
The CAS, based on the 7-item European Group on Graves' Ophthalmopathy (EUGOGO) amendment, was used to evaluate clinical activity. The CAS ranges from 0 to 7, where higher scores indicate greater disease activity (worse outcome).
Time frame: week 12, week 24
Change from baseline in diplopia score
Diplopia will be evaluated using the Gorman Subjective Diplopia Scale. The total score ranges from a minimum value of 0 to a maximum value of 3 (0 = no diplopia; 1 = intermittent diplopia; 2 = inconstant diplopia; 3 = constant diplopia). Higher scores mean a worse outcome (more severe diplopia condition).

Time frame: week 12, week 24
Change from Baseline in Diplopia Questionnaire (DQ) Score
The Diplopia Questionnaire (DQ) will be used to evaluate the severity and impact of diplopia. Total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity and a more significant negative impact on daily life (representing a worse outcome).
Time frame: Week 12, Week 24
Percentage of subjects with a CAS value of 0 or 1 in the study eye
Time frame: week 12, week 24
Proptosis responder rate in the non-study eye
Time frame: week 12, week 24
Change from baseline in proptosis measurement in the non-study eye
Time frame: week 12, week 24
Change from baseline in ocular motility of the study eye
Time frame: week 12, week 24
The number, incidence, severity, and relevance to study drugs or treatments of all ocular and other systemic AEs, TEAEs, AESIs, and SAEs
Time frame: From the Screening period through study completion, with each participant completing all study visits over approximately 28 weeks, comprising a Screening Period (up to 4 weeks), a Treatment Period (21 weeks), and a Safety Follow-up Period (3 weeks).
Incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) and neutralizing antibodies (NAbs)
Time frame: Up to Week 24
Serum Drug Concentration
Serum drug concentrations will be collected at the following scheduled time points: * Pre-dose (within 1 hour before infusion) and end-of-infusion (within 5 minutes after infusion completion) at Dose 1 (Week 0/Day 1), Dose 2 (Week 3), Dose 3 (Week 6), and Dose 5 (Week 12) * A single sample at Week 1 (Day 8) * A single sample at Week 24 or at early termination Serum concentration data from all sampling time points will be used to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model and characterize the pharmacokinetics of KHN939.
Time frame: Pre-dose and end-of-infusion at Doses 1, 2, 3, and 5, with additional samples at Week 1 and Week 24 (or early termination), up to Week 24
