E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine Clinical activity score (CAS) after 6 months treatment with or without diclofenak or simvastatin and progression to severe GO |
Att utvärdera Clinical activity score (CAS) efter 6 månaders behandling med diklofenak eller simvastatin |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To evaluate whether modified CAS is better than CAS in discriminating changes in activity score?
2. To evaluate conjunctival thickness with optical coherence tomography after 3 and 6 months treatment with diclofenak or simvastatin
3. To evaluate quality of life after 6 months treatment with diclofenak or simvastatin
4. To evaluation changes in TRAb and TPOAb after 3 and 6 months treatment with diclofenak or simvastatin?
5. To evaluation novel markers of active ophthalmopathy identified with microarray, metabolomics and bioassays after 3 and 6 months treatment with diclofenak or simvastatin?

1. Att utvärdera om modifierad CAS ökad chans till att påvisa förändringar i aktiviteten jämfört med CAS?
2. Att utvärdera om TRAK och anti-TPO påverkas av 6 månaders behandling med diklofenak eller simvastatin
3. Att utvärdera om nya markörer för aktiv oftalmopati kan identifieras med ”microarray”, ”metabolomics” och ”bioassays” och påverkas dessa av behandling med diklofenak eller simvastatin?
4. Att utvärdera om konjunktival tjocklek, bestämd med optical coherence tomography (OCT), påverkas av diklofenak eller simvastatin?
5. Att utvärdera om livskvaliten påverkas av behandling med diklofenak eller simvastatin?

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Age 18-70 years
2. Active mild to moderate with at least one sign of mild GO (NO SPECS class 2a and b) with reference to Colour Atlas at EUGOGO website (www.eugogo.eu). Exophthalmos up to 24 mm with a disease duration of <18 months (as recorded by the patient)
3. a. Graves´ disease with clinical and laboratory euthyroidism after stopping treatment with anti thyroid drugs (ATD)
b. or 2 months treatment with ATD
c. or euthyroid 6 months after treatment with radioiodine
d. or euthyroid after total thyroidectomy.
Clinical and laboratory euthyroidism is defined as normal fT4, fT3 and TSH below the upper limit of the local reference interval (Malmö 3.7, Odense? Århus 4.3) and no clinical symtoms or signs of hyperthyroidism. L-thyroxine is used to achieve euthyroidism during the study period.

1. Ålder 18-70 år
2. Aktiv mild till måttlig GO med åtminstone ett tecken på mild GO (NO SPECS klass 2a och b) enligt färg atlas på EUGOGOs web sida (www.eugogo.eu). Exoftalmos upp till 24 mm med en sjukdomsduration på < 18 månader (enligt patienten)
3. a. Graves sjukdom med klinisk och laboratoriemässig eutyreoidism efter avslutad behandling med tyreostatika
b. eller 2 månaders behandling med tyreostatika
c. eller eutyreoidism 6 månader efter behandling med radiojod
d. eller eutyreoidism efter total tyreoidektomi.
Klinisk och laboratoriemässig eutyreoidism definieras som normalt fT4, fT3 och TSH under den övre referensgränsen för det lokala laboratoriets referensintervall (Malmö, Odense, Århus) och avsaknad av kliniska symtom och tecken på hypertyreoidism. L-thyroxine används för substitution under studieperioden.
