NCT ID NCT05524571

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

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tested whether batoclimab, an injected antibody, can reduce eye bulging (proptosis) in people with active, moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease. 86 participants received weekly injections of batoclimab or a placebo for 24 weeks. The main goal was to see how many people had at least a 2-millimeter reduction in eye protrusion without worsening in the other eye.
