New drug and high-tech scans aim to calm thyroid eye disease
NCT ID NCT07423013
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a drug called teprotumumab N01 in 50 adults with thyroid eye disease, an autoimmune condition that causes bulging eyes and discomfort. Participants receive the drug and are monitored with special PET and MRI scans to see if inflammation and eye changes improve. The main goal is to check how many people respond well after 24 weeks of treatment.
