Anti-insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) Antibodies in Graves' Disease and Graves' Orbitopathy (IGF1RAbsGO)

July 26, 2018 updated by: Marinò Michele, University of Pisa

Serum Antibodies Against the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) in Graves' Disease and Graves' Orbitopathy

The study is aimed at assessing IGF-1R-Abs in patients with Graves' disease, with or without GO, compared with healthy subjects and patients with autoimmune thyroiditis in a cross-sectional investigation.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

  1. Patients with Graves' disease, with or without GO. The presence of GO will be established in any patient who had at least one of the following eye features: a) exophthalmometry ≥17 mm in women and ≥19 mm in men, based on measurements conducted for the normal population; b) eyelid aperture ≥9 mm; c) clinical activity score ≥1/7; iv) presence of diplopia; v) presence of corneal alterations; vi) presence of GO-related alterations of the fundi; and vii) reduction in visual acuity that could be attributed to GO.
  2. Patients with autoimmune thyroiditis
  3. healthy subjects

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. for Graves' disease: a history of hyperthyroidism, associated with previous or present detectable serum autoantibodies against the TSH-R;
  2. for autoimmune thyroiditis: the presence of at least two of the following: a) primary hypothyroidism; b) detectable serum autoantibodies against thyroglobulin or thyroperoxidase ; c) a hypoechoic pattern of the thyroid by ultrasound examination.
  3. for healthy subjects: absence of any clinical, biochemical or instrumental evidence of thyroid diseases.

For all subjects: Informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

1) lack of informed consent

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frequency of serum IGF-1R-Abs above the upper normal levels
Time Frame: Baseline
Percent prevalence of serum IGF-1R-Abs above the upper normal levels in patients with GO, compared with healthy subjects, patients with Graves' disease without a clinically relevant GO, and patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Serum concentrations of IGF-1R-Abs
Time Frame: Baseline
Comparison of the serum concentrations of IGF-1R-Abs in patients with GO, compared with healthy subjects, patients with Graves' disease without GO, and patients with autoimmune thyroiditis;
Baseline
Relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs and the activity of GO
Time Frame: Baseline
Relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs (both levels and prevalence), with the the activity GO, namely the clinical activity score, including 7 items (spontaneous orbital pain, gaze provoked pain, palpebral redness, palpebral oedema, conjuctival redness, caruncle edema, chemosis) resulting in a score from 1 to 7
Baseline
Relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs and anti-TSH receptor autoantibodies
Time Frame: Baseline
The relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs (both levels and prevalence) and anti-thyrotropic hormone-receptor serum autoantibodies
Baseline
Relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs and anti-thyroperoxidase autoantibodies
Time Frame: Baseline
The relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs (both levels and prevalence) and anti-thyroperoxidase serum autoantibodies
Baseline
Relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs and anti-thyroglobulin autoantibodies
Time Frame: Baseline
The relationship between serum IGF-1R-Abs (both levels and prevalence) and anti-thyroglobulin serum autoantibodies

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
June 20, 2018

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
