Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential secondary beneficial effect of prostaglandin analogues (PA) treatment in thyroid eye disease (TED) patients. This study aims to determine if PA would change the course of the orbitopathy in TED patients by altering the progression of the common features of TED… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential secondary beneficial effect of prostaglandin analogues (PA) treatment in thyroid eye disease (TED) patients. This study aims to determine if PA would change the course of the orbitopathy in TED patients by altering the progression of the common features of TED, including fatty hypertrophy, proptosis, eyelid retraction and optic nerve compression. The eyes with thyroid eye disease and elevated intraocular pressure will be randomised to the PA treatment and the other eye will serve as a control eye and will be treated with Timolol.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Prostaglandin AnalogDrug

    Also called Bimatoprost, Travoprost Z, Tafluprost, Latanoprost

    The first choice drug from group of Prostaglandin Analogues will be bimatoprost, if patient will suffer from any side effect of this drug another drug from this group will be administer. If patient turned out to cannot tolerate the prostaglandin analog therapy then the exclusion criteria will be met.

  • TimololDrug

    Also called Timolol maleate 0.5%

    Timolol topical eye drop will be administered in Prostaglandin Analog vs Timolol arm only, in patients with elevated intraocular pressure in both eyes.

Study groups in NCT01927406
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prostaglandin Analog vs TimololExperimentalIn this group, with thyroid eye disease and increased intraocular pressure in both eyes, prostaglandin analog eyedrop (bimatoprost 0.01%, travoprost z 0.004%, tafluprost 0.0015% or latanoprost 0.005%) will be administered once a day, topically, into one - randomised eye. Timolol 0.5% eye drop will be administered topically in second, control eye, two times a day.
Receives: Drug: Prostaglandin Analog; Drug: Timolol
Prostaglandin AnalogExperimentalIn this group, with thyroid eye disease and increased intraocular pressure in only one eye Prostaglandin Analog eyedrop (bimatoprost 0.01%, travoprost z 0.004%, tafluprost 0.0015% or latanoprost 0.005%) will be administered once a day, topically, into one, affected eye.
Receives: Drug: Prostaglandin Analog

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prostaglandin Analog and Timolol in people with Thyroid Eye Disease and Ocular Hypertension, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in appearance of facial periorbital region at 6 months. (time frame: Baseline and 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2018.
