Official title: Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Teprotumumab N01 in Patients With Thyroid Eye Disease by FAPI PET/CT and 5.0T-MRI
Run by Peking University Third Hospital · NCT07423013 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will try Teprotumumab N01 in adults with recent-onset thyroid eye disease to see if it reduces eye inflammation and improves vision and quality of life.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–80 years, weighing 45–100 kg, with a clinical diagnosis of TED of under nine months who can receive teprotumumab N01 and attend scheduled visits are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with long-standing disease, poorly controlled thyroid function, recent radioactive iodine therapy, thyroid-related optic neuropathy, or persistent corneal ulcers are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a prospective, single-arm study enrolling adults with thyroid eye disease of less than nine months' duration who will receive Teprotumumab N01 and serve as their own baseline control. Clinical and ophthalmic measures, visual function tests, and quality-of-life questionnaires will be collected before and after treatment to measure change. Advanced imaging with [18F]AlF-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT and 5.0-T high-resolution MRI will be used to quantify orbital tissue changes. Safety will be tracked through adverse event reporting and laboratory tests, with the primary efficacy endpoint being the overall response rate at Week 24.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, Teprotumumab N01 could reduce orbital inflammation, improve vision and symptoms, and provide an effective treatment option for recent-onset TED.
How similar studies have gone: Prior randomized trials of teprotumumab have demonstrated clinical benefit in thyroid eye disease, while this N01 formulation and the focused use of advanced PET/MRI represent newer real-world and imaging-focused data.
