Graves' Disease

Graves' disease is an immune system condition that affects the thyroid gland, leading to the release of excessive thyroid hormone, known as hyperthyroidism. Since the thyroid hormone affects various organs in the body, Graves’ disease has similar complications. The disease is more common in women and in people above 30 years.

Hightower Clinical will soon launch a clinical trial for adults with Graves’ disease who still experience an overactive thyroid despite taking antithyroid medications. This Phase 2b study will test a new investigational treatment to evaluate how safe and effective it is compared to a placebo.
