IMVT-1402 for Graves' Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called IMVT-1402 for individuals with Graves' disease, a condition characterized by an overactive thyroid. The goal is to determine if this treatment is safe and effective for those who still have high thyroid levels despite other thyroid medications. Participants will receive one of two doses of IMVT-1402 or a placebo (a harmless pill with no effect). The trial seeks adults with Graves’ disease who continue to experience hyperthyroidism (high thyroid activity) despite current treatment. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on measuring the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants a chance to contribute to important medical advancements.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop your current medications. However, since the study involves participants who are hyperthyroid despite antithyroid drug treatment, it seems likely that you may continue your current antithyroid medications.
Is there any evidence suggesting that IMVT-1402 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that IMVT-1402 appears safe for people with Graves' disease. In a study on this treatment, participants generally tolerated it well. The safety results matched those of similar medications. Although specific side effects are not listed, consistent safety reports suggest that IMVT-1402 could be a reliable option for patients. As a Phase 2 trial, this phase examines its safety in a larger group, following initial human testing for basic safety.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for Graves' disease?
Unlike the standard treatments for Graves' Disease, which often involve antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, or surgery, IMVT-1402 offers a new approach by targeting the condition with a different mechanism of action. Researchers are excited about IMVT-1402 because it is designed to modulate the immune response specifically, potentially reducing side effects and providing a more targeted treatment option. This unique feature could mean better management of Graves' Disease symptoms with fewer complications, making it a promising alternative to existing therapies.
What evidence suggests that IMVT-1402 might be an effective treatment for Graves' disease?
Research has shown that IMVT-1402 may help treat Graves' disease. In this trial, participants will receive either IMVT-1402 at different doses or a placebo. Earlier studies demonstrated significant improvements in patients using a similar treatment, with about 50% achieving remission without antithyroid drugs six months after treatment. Another study found that IMVT-1402 led to important changes in patients who did not respond to standard treatments. These findings suggest that IMVT-1402 might effectively manage Graves' disease by potentially reducing the need for ongoing medication.12356
