Efficacy of B-Cell Targeted Therapy With Rituximab in Patients With Active Moderate to Severe Graves' Orbitopathy: A Randomized Controlled Study

Abstract

The results of this trial confirm preliminary reports on a better therapeutic outcome of RTX in active moderate to severe GO, when compared with ivMP, even after a lower RTX dose. The better eye motility outcome, visual functioning of the quality of life assessment, and the reduced number of surgical procedures in patients after RTX seem to suggest a disease-modifying effect of the drug.
