Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition that causes the thyroid to become overactive (hyperthyroidism), leading to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.
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.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition that causes the thyroid to become overactive (hyperthyroidism), leading to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.
Adults with Graves’ disease who remain hyperthyroid even while on antithyroid medication may qualify for the study.
In a placebo-controlled study, some participants receive the investigational drug, while others receive a placebo (inactive substance) to compare results.
