We are currently seeking volunteers, age 18 – 75, to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug in patients with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism due to Graves’ disease. This is a 52-week study that consists of twenty-seven site visits about 1 – 4 weeks apart. Visits are frequent for safety monitoring since earlier studies show that some patients improved their thyroid function shortly after taking the drug.
Key Criteria:
Must be on Methimazole or PTU or at least 3 months.
Cannot have had prior thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine.
Must not be taking Levothyroxine.
Must be willing to do a weekly injection via an autoinjector or have nurse give you the injection.
