Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.

Observe and wait.

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
Change of Clinical Activity Score (CAS) score
Time Frame: baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months
Comparison of CAS scores before and after treatment in each arm and an inter-arm. The range of CAS scores is 0-7, with 3 as the boundary. The higher the score, the higher the activity.
baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months
Change of NOSPECS score
Time Frame: baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months
Comparison of NOSPECS scores before and after treatment in each arm and an inter-arm. The NOSPECS score was 0-6. The higher the score, the higher the severity.
baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months

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
adverse events
Time Frame: baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months
Comparison of adverse events rate in each arm and an inter-arm.
baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months
Quality of life questionnaires (GO-QoL)
Time Frame: baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months
Comparison of Graves' ophthalmopathy Quality of life questionnaire (GO-QOL) scores before and after treatment in each arm and an inter-arm. The GO-QOL score is between 0 and 100. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.
baseline、3months、6months、9months、12months
