Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine Clinical activity score (CAS) after 6 months treatment with or without diclofenak or simvastatin and progression to severe GO;Secondary Objective: 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? ;Primary end point(s): 1.Clinical activity score (CAS) after 6 months treatment with or without diclofenak or simvastatin and progression to severe GO;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months | — |
