About this study

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Armour Thyroid treatment compared with synthetic T4 in subjects who have primary hypothyroidism and are currently stabilized (i.e., in-range thyroid-stimulating hormone \[TSH\]) on synthetic T4 treatment. This study will also therefore evaluate the efficacy and safety of dose conversion from synthetic T4 therapy to Armour Thyroid therapy.

Sponsor: AbbVie

✓ Have a diagnosis of primary hypothyroidism made \>= 12 months prior to Screening.
✓ Be on continuous thyroid replacement therapy of synthetic T4 for primary hypothyroidism for at least 12 months immediately prior to the Screening Visit.
✓ Be on a stable FDA-approved daily dose of synthetic T4 prior to the Screening visit, and must be taking synthetic T4 dose of at least 25 mcg at Screening visit. Must enter the study using the same stable dose to determine dose conversion.
✓ Documentation of 1 in-range thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (i.e., within 0.45 - 4.12 mIU/L, inclusive) at Screening and at least 1 additional in range TSH (i.e., within 0.45 - 4.12 mIU/L, inclusive) taken at a minimum of 6 weeks and a maximum of 12 months prior to Screening.
