New drug batoclimab aims to reduce eye bulging in thyroid eye disease
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- batoclimab (a monoclonal antibody injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, batoclimab could offer a new treatment option to reduce eye bulging and inflammation in people with active thyroid eye disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small Phase 3 trial (86 participants), and results may not apply to all patients. The drug may cause side effects or fail to show meaningful benefit over placebo.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: 1. Are ≥18 years of age at screening. 2. Have a clinical diagnosis of TED associated with active, moderate to severe TED with the following at screening and Visit 0: * A CAS ≥ 4 in either eye, and * Clinical evidence of worsened proptosis with: * Proptosis ≥ 18 mm and/or * Proptosis ≥ 3 mm increase from participant's baseline (prior to diagnosis of TED), as estimated by the Investigator/assessor 3. Have moderate to severe active TED, as defined by European Group on Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) guidelines. 4. Have onset of active TED within 12 months prior to screening. 5. Have documented evidence of detectable anti-TSHR-Ab at screening. 6. Are not expected to require immediate surgical intervention and are not planning corrective surgery/irradiation or medical therapy for TED during the course of the study. 7. Are euthyroid with the Baseline disease under control or have mild hypo- or hyperthyroidism. Additional inclusion criteria are defined in the protocol. Exclusion criteria: 1. Have decreased best corrected visual acuity due to optic neuropathy. 2. Have at least a 2-point decrease in CAS or ≥2 mm decrease in proptosis between screening and Baseline assessments in either eye. 3. Have used any steroid (intravenous or oral) for the treatment of TED or other conditions within 4 weeks prior to screening. 4. Have used any steroid (Intravenous or oral) with a cumulative dose equivalent to ≥ 1 g of methylprednisolone for the treatment of TED. 5. Have known autoimmune disease other than TED, that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would interfere with the course and conduct of the study. 6. Had previous orbital irradiation or surgery for TED. Additional exclusion criteria are defined in the protocol.
