Filter by:The Study on efficacy of add on selenium in mild-to-moderate Graves ophthalmopathy: A Randomized Control Trial.; The study aims to evaluate the response of adding selenium in patients with Graves ophthalmopathy, focusing on improving quality of life, CAS scoring, and thyroid status. The methodology involves a Randomized Control Trial with a sample size of 78 patients. Patients meeting specific criteria will receive either standard treatment with Anti Thyroid Drugs and Vitamin B complex or add on selenium with Vitamin B complex for 6 months. Outcome measures include CAS score reduction, thyroid function improvement, and quality of life enhancement. The study will last 18 months, with various investigations and ethical considerations outlined. The document emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of Graves Ophthalmopathy to prevent vision loss and deformity, highlighting the significance of informed patients and healthcare professionals regarding TED symptoms and risk factors.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of AMG 732 after single subcutaneous (SC) doses.
Thyroid ophthalmopathy, also known as thyroid eye disease or Graves' ophthalmopathy, is a condition characterized by inflammation and swelling of the tissues around the eyes, often accompanied by protrusion of the eyeballs. This condition can lead to significant discomfort, visual disturbances, and in severe cases, permanent vision loss. Primary treatment modalities are intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) and other medications for patients with moderate to severe and active thyroid eye disease. In addition, external beam radiation therapy (ERT) is an another treatment option in combination with IVMP. Radiation therapy delivers targeted doses of ionizing radiation to the affected orbital tissues, effectively reducing inflammation. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients who may not respond adequately to steroid therapy alone or those who experience recurrent disease flares. This study will test the efficacy of a shortened treatment regimen comprising 5 sessions of ERT to a standard protocol of 10 treatments. The primary aim is to ascertain the effectiveness of shorted radiation treatment while improving patients' quality of life.
The investigational drug, VRDN-001, is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the activity of a cell surface receptor called insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Inhibition of IGF-1R may help to reduce the inflammation and associated tissue swelling that occurs in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VRDN-001 in patients with TED.
To investigate corneal endothelial cell layer damage by specular microscopy in patients with thyroid eye disease
This study is a randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study, the purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapamycin combined with methylprednisolone in the treatment of moderate to severe active GO. GO patients with moderate to severe activity were selected as the research objects, and the screening period was 1 week. Eligible and well-informed subjects were randomly assigned 1:1 to the experimental group (rapamycin + methylprednisolone) or the control group (methylprednisolone group). The control group was given methylprednisolone pulse 500 mg/time once a week for 6 weeks + 250 mg/time once a week for 6 weeks, and the experimental group was given rapamycin 2 mg/day orally for 24 weeks on the basis of methylprednisolone pulse therapy. The follow-up period was from 25th to 36th week. Before treatment, 1 week after treatment, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, and 36 weeks, visits were conducted to evaluate the improvement and safety evaluation of patients' GO eye activity, severity, and quality of life. At the end of the 1st week and the 12th week, the blood concentration of rapamycin was measured.
This is a single-arm, prospective, open-label, Phase II study that explored the efficacy and safety of SHR-1314 in active moderate to severe Graves' Orbitopathy. The study consists of a 6-week screening period, a 16-week treatment period, and a 12-week follow-up period. Eighteen adult patients with active moderate to severe Graves' Orbitopathy will be enrolled. Eligible subjects will receive SHR-1314 subcutaneously. The primary endpoint was the proptosis responder rate and will be evaluated at 16weeks.
Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is the most common extra-thyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD). Based on its clinical signs and symptoms, GO is graded as mild, moderate-to-severe, or severe, and active or inactive, the latter feature being established on a 5/7-scale score named Clinical Activity Score (CAS). The European Group on Graves Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) has recently formulated and published up-to-date guidelines for the management of GO, according to which high dose intravenous (iv) glucocorticoids (GC) (ivGC) is the first line treatment for moderate-to-severe and active GO. A protective effect of atorvastatin on the development of GO in patients with GD has been reported, based on which we recently conducted a phase II, randomized, open label clinical trial and found that atorvastatin improves the response of GO to ivGCs in hypercholesterolemic patients. The effect was unrelated to cholesterol levels, suggesting that it may be the consequence of a direct action of atorvastatin. To investigate this issue further and to introduce atorvastatin in the clinical practice, we designed the present Phase III, double-blinded, multicenter, randomized, adaptive, superiority, no profit, clinical trial to evaluate the effects of atorvastatin on Graves' Orbitopathy (GO) in patients with moderate-to-severe and active GO subjected to intravenous glucocorticoid therapy, regardless of cholesterol levels.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate supramaximal rectus recession for strabismus in Grave's Ophthalmopathy
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combination of orbital compression surgery with strabismus surgery is better than strabismus surgery after orbital compression surgery in the treatment of moderate-to-severe thyroid associated ophthalmopathy
