First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a two-step treatment for people with moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease (TAO) that is still active. First, patients receive high-dose steroids, then a newer drug called tetuzumab (IBI311) that blocks a growth factor receptor. The goal is to reduce bulging eyes and inflammation. About 96 adults who did not respond well to steroids alone will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

IBI311 (tetuzumab) and methylprednisolone

What this could lead to

If successful, this sequential treatment could offer a more effective option for people with thyroid eye disease who did not respond well to steroids alone.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 96 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug combination may cause side effects or fail to improve symptoms.
