Bimatoprost for eye swelling in Graves’ orbitopathy
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This early study tests whether bimatoprost (eye drops) can reduce signs of Graves’ orbitopathy, a condition that can cause bulging eyes. It may help improve eye symptoms for people whose Graves-related eye problems are present.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Graves’ orbitopathy, with bulging eyes (proptosis) or a similar eye bulge
- Your Graves’ disease is not “active” right now
- You are not pregnant
- You are not currently taking steroids

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether high-dose steroid pulses (given through a vein) can help people with moderate to severe Graves' eye disease that is still active. It is for people who have not yet been treated with steroids and whose eye problems began within the past year.
This trial studies whether hydroxychloroquine can improve mild Graves’ orbitopathy (swelling and discomfort around the eyes). It’s meant for people with mild symptoms and who haven’t recently used certain eye or immune treatments.
This trial tests two different ways of giving a steroid medicine called methylprednisolone through an IV to treat thyroid eye disease (also called Graves orbitopathy), which causes bulging and inflammation of the eyes. The goal is to see which schedule works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether atorvastatin, a common cholesterol medicine, can reduce inflammation and improve eye symptoms in people with moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease. It may help by calming the immune response that causes the eye problems.
This trial tests whether simvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can improve eye symptoms from Graves’ eye disease. It is aimed at people with active mild-to-moderate disease and will also check safety with blood tests, heart/skin tolerance, and stomach health.
This trial tests if low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms in people with Graves' disease whose dry eyes haven't gotten better with standard treatments like artificial tears.
