| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00677469 ↗ | Low Doses of Cholestyramine in the Treatment of Hyperthyroidism | Completed | Shiraz University of Medical Sciences | N/A | 2007-07-01 | The enterohepatic circulation of thyroid hormones is increased in thyrotoxicosis.Bile-salt sequestrants (ionic exchange resins) bind thyroid hormones in the intestine and thereby increase their fecal excretion. Based on these observations, the use of cholestyramine has been tried. The present study evaluates the effect of low doses of cholestyramine as an adjunctive therapy in the management of hyperthyroidism |
| NCT00946296 ↗ | Impact of SSKI Pre-Treatment on Blood Loss in Thyroidectomy for Graves Disease | Completed | University of Massachusetts, Worcester | Phase 4 | 2005-04-01 | The purpose of this study is to determine whether a brief course of SSKI (saturated solution of potassium iodide) administered preoperatively provides any benefit in the surgical management of patients undergoing thyroidectomy as definitive management of their Graves Disease. |
| NCT01056419 ↗ | The Effect of Early Total Thyroidectomy in the Course of Graves' Orbitopathy | Unknown status | Ankara University | Phase 4 | 2009-01-01 | The relationship between the method of the treatment of hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease and the course of Graves' ophthalmopathy is debated. The investigators aimed to compare the results of total thyroidectomy done in 6 months following the appearance of the symptoms of ophthalmopathy and the antithyroid drug therapy in patients with moderate to severe Graves' ophthalmopathy. The inclusion criteria: 1)Hyperthyroidism and moderate to severe Graves' ophthalmopathy within 6 months, 2)Thyroid volumes greater than or equal to 15 mL in thyroid ultrasonography, 3)Patients taking no treatment except local medications for Graves' ophthalmopathy, 4)Clinical activity score of 3/7 or more, proptosis greater than or equal to 21 mm in one eye or 2 mm difference between two eyes, presence of diplopia, the opening of the eye lid greater than or equal to 9 mm. All patients will be treated with antithyroid drug until TSH levels of the patients are between 0.4-1. During this period all the patients will take pulse methyl prednisolone treatment of a total dose of 4.5 gr. After pulse steroid treatment the patients will be randomised to two groups: one group will be sent to surgery for total thyroidectomy, and their TSH levels will be kept between 0.4-1 with levothyroxine treatment; the other group will be followed under antithyroid drug treatment and their TSH levels will be kept between 0.4-1 also. The smoking habits will be asked. Serum TSH, fT4 levels, Hertelmeter and eye lid opening measurements, clinical activity scores, diplopia will be evaluated monthly; TSH receptor antibody, anti-thyroid peroxidase and anti-thyroglobulin levels will be measured in 3 months intervals for a period of 12 months. |
| NCT01436994 ↗ | Antithyroid Drug Treatment of Thyrotoxicosis in Young People | Completed | Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust | Phase 3 | 2004-07-01 | The investigators aim to establish whether biochemical control during anti-thyroid drug therapy in young people with thyrotoxicosis varies depending upon whether a 'block and replace' or 'dose titration' regimen is used. The investigators will also assess remission rates and the frequency of side-effects in the two treatment groups. |
| NCT01458600 ↗ | Adjuvant Treatment of Graves´ Ophthalmopathy With NSAID (aGO Study) | Completed | Mikael Lantz | Phase 4 | 2006-09-01 | AGO study - adjuvant treatment, with NSAID, of endocrine ophthalmopathy in Graves´ disease Background - Already at diagnosis of Graves disease approximately 98% of the patients have morphological changes of the retrobulbar tissue concordant with ophthalmopathy. Factors known to induce clinical symptoms of ophthalmopathy are mainly unknown. An interesting observation is that a patient with stable and inactive Graves´ disease developed ophthalmopathy when treated with a glitazone due to diabetes type 2. Glitazones have been shown to increase differentiation of orbital preadipocytes to mature adipocytes. Glitazones are PPAR-gamma agonists and recently diclofenac have been shown to interact with PPAR-gamma in physiological concentrations. Other non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, NSAID, like indomethacin lack this effect. In addition, diclofenac inhibit synthesis of prostaglandins which also may be of importance because the natural ligand to PPAR-gamma is prostaglandin J. Inflammation and adipogenesis are hallmarks of the pathological process in Graves ophthalmopathy and NSAID like diclofenac may affect both. There is only one earlier study demonstrating effects of NSAID (indomethacin) in 7 patients with effects on soft tissue symptoms, eye muscle symptoms and eye protrusion. Aim - to investigate if diclofenac can prevent ophthalmopathy and/or progress of ophthalmopathy. Specific aims: 1. To study the frequency of clinical ophthalmopathy in Graves´ disease after 12 months treatment with or without diclofenac. 2. To study the frequency of progress of clinical signs and symptoms in ophthalmopathy after 12 months treatment with or without diclofenac. 3. To study the frequency of optic neuropathy in clinical ophthalmopathy after 12 months treatment with or without diclofenac. Study plan and randomisation - 150 patients with newly diagnosed Graves´disease without ophthalmopathy will be treated with anti-thyroid drugs and L-thyroxin (block and replace) according to clinical routine for 18 months. These patients will be randomized to diclofenac 50 mg twice daily or not for 12 months. |
| NCT02993302 ↗ | Effects Of Oral Alfacalcidol On Maturation Of Dendritic Cells In Graves' Disease Patients | Completed | Indonesia University | Phase 2 | 2014-07-01 | Maturity level of dendritic cells (DC) plays a pivotal role in initiating and regulating autoimmunity. In Graves' disease (GD), DCs have more active immune responses than those in healthy subjects. Our previous study demonstrated immunoregulatory effects of in vitro 1,25-D3 on maturation of DC in GD patients. This study aims to evaluate the effect of oral 1α-D3 on DC maturation in GD patients. |
