    Just a quick clarification: these are just for Graves’ EYE Disease, or TED.

    Stumbled upon this website! Note the new drugs being developed:

    New drugs being investigated for the treatment of Graves’ disease include:

    Intravenous immunoglobulins
    Antioxidants (vitamins C and E; beta-carotene; selenium)
    Cytokine antagonists
    Colchicine
    Methotrexate for Graves’ ophthalmopathy
    Short or long-acting sandostatin analogues for Graves’ ophthalmopathy

    I went to this website. I could not find a date, but I suspect it is rather old. The research projects they mention are mostly complete. You will hear about some of the "less invasive" procedures at the conference. I don’t know about the research regarding children and pregnancy, but we can certainly ask.

    When I clicked on the link at the bottom, it took me to a current page about clinical trails, but I didn’t explore it.

    NGDF was a participant in the radiation therapy for eye disease – Mayo Clinic.

    Intravenous immunoglobulins Sometimes used for SEVERE eye disease
    Antioxidants (vitamins C and E; beta-carotene; selenium) I believe this research showed no difference
    Cytokine antagonists I believe these did not work-cancer medication
    Colchicine The medication for GOUT? Have not heard of this
    Methotrexate for Graves’ ophthalmopathy Sometimes used for SEVERE eye disease
    Short or long-acting sandostatin analogues for Graves’ ophthalmopathy Sandostatin proved to make no difference.
