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.

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
Responder Status at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
This end point main evaluation improvement of clinical activity score and proptosis at week 12. A reduction of the CAS 2 point or more, and reduction of the proptosis 2 mm or more was defined as response.
Week 12

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
Overall Average Continuous Change in CAS From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
The 7-item European Group on Graves' Ophthalmopathy (EUGOGO) amended CAS was used to evaluate clinical activity. CAS of 3 point or more on a 7-point scale indicating active thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.
Baseline to Week 24
Overall Average Continuous Change in Proptosis From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
Proptosis is the amount of protrusion of the eye from the orbital rim. Measurements were recorded with the Hertel exophthalmometer.
Baseline to Week 24
Overall Average Change in Diplopia grading From Baseline to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24

Diplopia grading included 01/4no：no diplopia; 11/4intermittent： diplopia in primary position of gaze, when tired or when first awakening; 21/4inconstant： diplopia at extremes of gaze; 31/4constant： continuous diplopia in primary or reading position).

Diplopia change in one grade or more at week 24 was regarded as improvement.
Baseline to Week 24
Overall Average Change in extra-ocular muscular thickening From Baseline in thickening extra-ocular muscular improvement in Orbital CT to Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
Observation of extra-ocular muscular thickening is observed on Orbital CT. One or more extra-ocular muscle recovery at week 24 was regarded as improvemed.
Baseline to Week 24
Overall Average Change in Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QOL) Scale From baseline to Week 24 follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
The GO-QOL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire used to assess the perceived effects of thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) by the participants on their daily physical and psychosocial functioning. Two subscales of the 16-question GO-QOL have been defined: Visual Functioning and Appearance, with 8 questions comprising each subscale.The transformed overall score is the sum of scores from all 16 questions to a scale of 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health). A change of 8 point was defined as improvement.
Baseline to Week 24
Overall Average Change in GO-QOLScale - Visual Functioning From baseline to Week 24 follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
Transformed Visual Functioning score is the sum of scores from following 8 questions to a scale of 0 (worst health) to 50 (best health): bicycling, driving, moving around the house, walking outdoors, reading, watching television (TV), hobby or pastime, feel hindered.
Baseline to Week 24
Overall Average Change in GO-QOLScale - Appearance From baseline to Week 24 follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24
Transformed Appearance score is the sum of scores from the following 8 questions to a scale of 0 (worst health) to 50 (best health): feel appearance has changed, feel being stared at, feel people react unpleasantly, influence on self-confidence, feel socially isolated, influence on making friends, appear less often on photos, try to mask changes in appearance.
