New hope for thyroid eye disease: phase 3 drug trial launches in china
NCT ID NCT07211776
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called ZL-1109 for people with moderate to severe thyroid eye disease, a condition that causes eye bulging and discomfort. About 99 Chinese adults will receive either the drug or a placebo to see if it safely reduces eye bulging by at least 2 millimeters. The trial is double-blinded, meaning neither participants nor doctors know who gets the real treatment.
