NCT ID NCT06179875
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an investigational drug called VRDN-001 in 143 people with thyroid eye disease who did not improve in earlier studies. The drug aims to reduce inflammation and eye bulging by blocking a specific receptor. Researchers measured how many participants had at least a 2-millimeter reduction in eye protrusion without worsening in the other eye.
