Teprotumumab Significantly Improves Proptosis in Thyroid eye Disease
Patients with thyroid eye disease treated with teprotumumab demonstrated a significant reduction in proptosis compared with those treated with placebo, according to phase 3 results from the OPTIC trial.
The ideal treatment for thyroid eye disease would decrease inflammation, reduce proptosis and double vision, improve quality of life, have minimal adverse effects and minimize the need for surgical treatment, Raymond S. Douglas, MD, PhD, director of the orbital and thyroid eye disease program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said in a presentation on the topic at Hawaiian Eye 2020.
Additionally, this treatment would target the long-term manifestations of the disease rather than the short-term manifestations that are primarily targeted with steroids and other second line agents, he said.
