@crazyartist62 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect where members share their experience with disease. People ask questions and others share answers. No one on Connect is a medical professional so diagnoses cannot be make or medicines prescribed. People share their experience and tell about their treatment and the medicine they are on. So welcome!
I, personally, don’t know about studies regarding azathioprine (Imuran) and GAVE.
@johnbishop will probably be on in the morning to answer your question.
How long has your husband had GAVE?

Thanks for the tag Becky. @crazyartist62 I did see a reference on your question that may be helpful to discuss with your husband's doctor.
