New Clinical Trial - Graves' disease

[lynmynott]

Thyroid UK has been approached about a clinical trial investigating a new drug for Graves’ disease and wondered if you or anyone else you know might be interested in taking part.

This phase I study is investigating a potential new drug, K1-70, to treat patients who have Graves’ disease, thyroid cancer, and patients who would benefit from controlling thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) activity.

A Safety Review Committee found the drug to have been safe and well-tolerated in the patients treated so far. A further 8 patients with Graves’ disease are needed to complete this study.

Travel to and from the study sites is provided from a patient’s chosen location, as well as accommodation for patients travelling from far.

If you would like some more information or are interested in taking part please contact:

•the Volunteer Services team at the Medicines Evaluation Unit on 0800 655 6553 and quote “study MEU 15/304”.

•Recruitment Team between 8.00am and 4.00pm on 0151 706 4863 and quote “study CRU/5464” or text CRU/5464 to 07342065915.

They will be able to answer any questions you may have and book you in for a more in-depth discussion.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and for forwarding it on to anyone you think might benefit.

Is this for people who are being treated by carbimazole to control their Graves'?

Thank you ... a few years ago I might have considered this but not now I am older. Hopefully it will work for some people especially much younger people who have a life time ahead of them with this horrible disease.
