Summary
This trial is testing if patients can safely switch from Levothyroxine to North Star therapy while keeping their thyroid hormone levels stable.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with primary hypothyroidism who've been on a stable dose of Levothyroxine for at least 12 weeks. Participants must not be pregnant, agree to use reliable contraception, and cannot have conditions affecting drug absorption or excretion. They shouldn't have had major illness hospitalization recently or be taking certain other medications.
What is being tested?
The study compares the safety and effectiveness of a new hormone therapy called North Star against the standard treatment, Levothyroxine, in people with underactive thyroid glands. It's a Phase 2 trial where patients are randomly assigned to one of the treatments without knowing which one they receive.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, hormone replacement therapies like North Star and Levothyroxine can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, mood swings, and sensitivity to cold if dosing isn't properly managed.

Other Research
The most common treatments for hypothyroidism involve thyroid hormone replacement therapies, such as levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3). Levothyroxine is converted into the active hormone triiodothyronine (T3) in the body, which is essential for regulating metabolism, growth, and development.
Some therapies combine both T4 and T3 to better mimic natural thyroid function. This is important for hypothyroidism patients as it helps alleviate symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cognitive issues, thereby improving their quality of life.
