NCT ID NCT05907668

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a drug called batoclimab in 35 adults with Graves' disease whose thyroid hormone levels were still high despite taking standard antithyroid drugs. The goal was to see if batoclimab could help bring those levels back to normal or below over 24 weeks. Batoclimab works by blocking a protein that affects the immune system's attack on the thyroid.
