Thyroid ultrasound for monitoring children with Graves' disease
Part of Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (Doppler) to look at blood flow in the thyroid gland of children with newly diagnosed Graves' disease. It helps doctors monitor how well treatment is working without using radiation or surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child (under 18) with newly diagnosed overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
- Blood tests show high T4 and low TSH hormones
- Positive TRAb antibodies (a marker for Graves' disease)
- No prior treatment with radioactive iodine
- No prior thyroid surgery or neck surgery/radiation

This study tests a new way to adjust thyroid medication doses for children with either congenital hypothyroidism or Graves' disease. It aims to help find the right dose more easily and improve treatment outcomes.
This study tests whether adding vitamin D therapy to the usual Graves' disease treatment (methimazole) can improve thyroid function and lower antibody levels in children. If your child is between 9 and 17 and recently diagnosed, they may be able to participate.
This study compares computer-guided dosing of methimazole (a common thyroid medication) to standard care for people with active Graves' disease. It tests whether digital support helps manage treatment better.
This trial tests an investigational drug called IMVT-1402 for people with Graves' disease whose thyroid is still overactive even while taking standard antithyroid medication. The goal is to see if the drug can better control thyroid hormone levels.
This trial tests a new drug called IMVT-1402 for adults with Graves' disease whose thyroid is still overactive despite taking antithyroid medication. The goal is to see if the drug can safely help control thyroid hormone levels.
This is an observational study that follows people with known or suspected thyroid problems to better understand how these conditions develop and behave. It doesn't test a new treatment, but it helps doctors learn more about thyroid disorders, which may improve care.
