Graves' disease causes an overactive thyroid, triggering symptoms like rapid heartbeat, anxiety, weight loss, and fatigue. Encore Medical Research is enrolling adults ages 18–65 in a Graves' disease clinical trial across South Florida. No-cost study-related care and compensation available.
If you have been diagnosed with Graves' disease or hyperthyroidism, you may qualify for this autoimmune thyroid disease clinical trial. This study welcomes adults currently on Methimazole, those exploring a Methimazole alternative, and those with recent thyroid panel results. Our hyperthyroidism clinical trial locations include Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Kendall, and Hollywood, making it easy to find a Graves' disease research study in Florida near you. No-cost care and compensation are available for qualified participants. Complete the form below to check your eligibility.
Frequently asked questions
What age do I need to be to join this study?
You must be between 18 and 65 years old to qualify for this study.
What is this study for?
This study is for people who have Graves’ disease, a condition where the immune system causes the thyroid to become overactive. The study will test a new medication to assess its safety and its mechanism of action.
Can I join if I’m currently taking medication for Graves’ disease?
You may still qualify if you are being treated with certain medications for Graves’ disease. The study team will ask about your current and past treatments to determine if you’re eligible.
Will I need to use birth control during the study?
Yes. If you can become pregnant or get someone pregnant, you’ll need to follow specific birth control guidelines during the study. The study team will explain what applies to you.
