A Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Efgartigimod PH20 SC PFS in Adult Participants With Graves' Disease

The main purpose of this study is to look at how efgartigimod affects thyroid function in adults with Graves' Disease (GD). The study will also check whether efgartigimod is safe and well tolerated. It will look at how efgartigimod is distributed and eliminated in the body, how it changes antibody levels, and how the immune system responds to it. The study consists of a part A double-blinded treatment period, a part B treatment/observation period and a part C open-label treatment/observation period. During the part A and part B treatment periods, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC via Prefilled Syringe (PFS) or placebo. During the part C open-label treatment period, participants will receive efgartigimod PH20 SC PFS. Participation in the different parts of the study will depend on the participant's response to treatment. The total study duration for participants ranges from 63 to 135 weeks, depending on the response to treatment. More information can be found here: https://clinicaltrials.argenx.com/vitalithy

Early Risk Stratification of Thyroid Eye Disease in Newly Diagnosed Graves' Disease

The aim of this observational study is to investigate why some people with newly diagnosed Graves' disease (GD) develop thyroid eye disease (TED), also known as Graves' orbitopathy, while others do not. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. What proportion of participants develop TED within one year of being diagnosed with GD? 2. Which early clinical signs, ophthalmological findings, blood biomarkers, tear-fluid biomarkers, or ocular surface microbiome characteristics are associated with an increased risk of developing thyroid eye disease? Participants with newly diagnosed GD will attend two study visits, one at baseline and one approximately one year later. At each visit, participants will: * Answer questions about their symptoms and quality of life * Undergo a standardized eye examination and have clinical photographs taken of their eyes * Provide blood samples, tear-fluid samples, and a small swab sample from the ocular surface The study will also include healthy volunteers and participants with moderate-to-severe TED. Participants in these comparison groups will attend one study visit. Researchers will compare findings across the groups to better understand the early clinical and biological changes associated with thyroid eye disease. The long-term aim is to improve the early detection and follow-up of people with GD who may be at increased risk of developing TED.

This study is being conducted to look at the effect YB-101 has on thyroid function. This study will also evaluate how safe and well tolerated YB-101 is and how it is distributed through the body. The study consists of a part 1, blinded treatment period, and a part 2 double-blinded treatment period. Participants will receive YB-101 or Placebo subcutaneously. Participants who participate in Part 1 can not participate in Part 2. Participants will complete 34-39 in-clinic visits in Part 1 or Part 2 over an approximate 40 week period.

A Study to Learn About The Effects of Felzartamab on Thyroid Function and Its Safety in Adults With Graves' Disease Ages 18 to 75 Years Old

In this study, researchers will learn more about the use of felzartamab in participants with Graves' Disease, also known as GD. GD is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system attacks its own healthy cells. In people with GD, the immune system produces abnormal antibodies, called thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies (TRAb), that attack the thyroid gland. This causes the thyroid to become too active and produce too much hormone, a condition called hyperthyroidism. Participants with GD are often treated with anti-thyroid drugs, or ATDs, which are medicines that help bring thyroid hormone levels back to normal. Felzartamab is designed to target certain immune cells that produce the abnormal TRAb antibodies. The main goal of the study is to learn whether felzartamab can help bring thyroid hormone levels back to normal and allow participants to stop taking ATDs. Participants will receive either felzartamab or placebo during the study. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. The main question that researchers want to answer is: • How many participants have normal thyroid levels without receiving any ATD medicine at Week 24? Researchers will also learn more about the safety of felzartamab and how the body processes the drug. The study will be done as follows: * Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. * This is a double-blind study, which means neither the participants, study doctor, or site staff will know if participants are receiving felzartamab or a placebo. * Participants will be placed into 1 of 3 groups. Two groups will receive felzartamab while the other receives placebo. * Participants will receive felzartamab or placebo as intravenous (IV) infusions, which are slow injections into a vein using a needle. The Treatment Period will last 20 weeks. * During the Treatment Period, the study doctor may gradually lower the dose of the ATD if a participant's thyroid levels become normal. * Afterwards, participants will enter a follow-up period which will last 12 weeks. * In total, participants will have 22 study visits. Participants will stay in the study for about 9 months (up to 36 weeks).

In Vivo CAR-T for Refractory Graves' Disease

Graves' disease is an autoimmune thyroid disorder characterized by the production of autoantibodies against the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TRAb), leading to excessive thyroid hormone secretion and systemic manifestations. A subset of patients develop refractory disease, failing to achieve durable remission despite prolonged antithyroid therapy. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HN2301, an in vivo CAR-T therapy in which host T lymphocytes are engineered and transformed to functional CAR-T cells via CD8 antibody-coated LNP delivery of CD19 CAR-mRNA. Participants with refractory Graves' disease will receive three to five administrations of HN2301 and will be regularly monitored for changes in thyroid function, TRAb levels, clinical response, and treatment-related adverse events. The study will provide preliminary evidence on whether HN2301 can induce sustained remission of refractory Graves' disease.

Impact of Vitamin D Therapy on Thyroid Function and Antibody Levels in Pediatric Graves' Disease

The goal of this randomized pilot feasibility clinical trial is to determine the feasibility of implementing a protocol for a larger trial to assess the effects of high-dose vitamin D supplementation in pediatric patients (9-17 years old) newly diagnosed with Graves' disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the recruitment and adherence rates for a larger trial using this protocol? Is the data collection process complete and robust enough for a larger trial? What are the potential barriers to implementing a larger-scale trial? Researchers will compare vitamin D supplementation plus standard methimazole therapy to methimazole therapy alone (with participants permitted to take up to 1000 International Units of vitamin D2 daily) to explore potential effects on thyroid hormone and antibody levels. Participants will: Be randomized to either the intervention or control group. Take study medications (vitamin D or placebo) as directed. Attend regular study visits for blood tests and clinical assessments. Complete medication logs.

Allogeneic Anti-CD19/BCMA CAR-T for Refractory Graves' Disease

Graves' disease is an autoimmune thyroid disorder in which autoantibodies against the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TRAb) lead to excessive thyroid hormone production and systemic complications, as well as thyroid eye disease and pretibial myxedema in some cases. Patients with refractory Graves' disease often fail to achieve durable remission despite prolonged antithyroid medication. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RD06-05, an allogeneic dual CD19/BCMA CAR-T therapy, in participants with refractory Graves' disease, and will provide preliminary evidence on whether dual-targeting CAR-T therapy can induce sustained remission of refractory Graves' disease.

Assessment of Thyroid Doppler Ultrasound in Followup of Pediatric Graves' Disease

All cases of the study will be diagnosed as Graves' by History, examination, laboratory (FT3, FT4, TSH \& TRAbs), X-ray on left wrist for bone age, neck grey scale ultrasonography for thyroid gland size, shape, echotexture, vascularity and nodule characters if present with TIRAD score calculation. Then Color flow doppler ultrasound will be done to asses thyroid volume, number of vessels per square cm and inferior thyroid artery peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and resistive index. Patients then will receive carbimazole antithyroid drug at dose 0.25-0.5 mg/kg/day PO \& the dose will be titrated according to thyroid function test after 4-6 weeks. Beta-adrenergic blockade will be added to all symptomatic cases. Regular follow up will be done every month of first 3 months of diagnosis and then every 3 months for 2 years by clinical and thyroid function test to asses response, compliance, complications, drug side effects, remission and relapses. Doppler ultrasound will be done at 0, 12 and 24 months.
