How TEPEZZA Can Help Thyroid Eye Disease (TED)

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have had Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) for years, TEPEZZA could help

Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a lifelong, autoimmune condition that affects the eyes. If TED is left untreated, scar tissue can build up behind the eye, causing damage, which could become permanent. TEPEZZA is the first and only FDA-approved medicine to treat TED, no matter if you’ve had TED for months or years. And TEPEZZA treats a source of TED, not just the symptoms.

  • I have been recently diagnosed

    Reduce eye bulging and look more like yourself again

    Graphic of statistic that 7 out of 10 people taking TEPEZZA saw their double vision improve

    *Eye bulging was reduced by at least 2 mm.

    You could see results as early as 6 weeks

    • With TEPEZZA, some people began to see less eye bulging in as few as 6 weeks, with improvements continuing for the full course of 8 infusions. No one took steroids during their treatment

    Two studies were conducted throughout 24 weeks each, and followed patients taking TEPEZZA who were recently diagnosed with moderate-to-severe TED.

    Get multi-symptom relief from eye pain, redness, and swelling

    In clinical studies, 2 out of 3 people who completed treatment with TEPEZZA had little to no:

    Eye pain icon showing "lightning bolts" around eye Eye pain icon showing "lightning bolts" around eye Eye pain icon showing "lightning bolts" around eye
    Eye Pain including pain behind the eye and when moving the eye
    Eye redness Eye redness Eye redness
    Redness of the eye and eyelid
    Swelling of the eye and eyelid Swelling of the eye and eyelid Swelling of the eye and eyelid
    Swelling of the eye and eyelid

    In combined results from two studies, TED patients’ levels of inflammation were recorded using their Clinical Activity Score (CAS), which is a tool that doctors use to assess their patients’ TED symptoms. It evaluates for the presence of 7 symptoms in the eyes and surrounding area: pain that happens for no apparent reason; pain due to looking at something for too long; eyelid swelling; eyelid redness; redness of the eye itself; swelling of the eye, and inflammation in the inner corner of the eye. The higher the CAS number (from 0 to 7), the more serious the impact of TED is seen to be.

    In patients with a CAS of at least 4 at the start of treatment, by the end of treatment 62% (52 of 84) of those treated with TEPEZZA had a CAS of 0 or 1 (seen as inactive disease state) compared to 22% (18 of 87) of those who were treated with placebo.

    Each of the 7 symptoms is counted equally toward a single overall score, even though that may not reflect their impact to the individual patient. For example, if a patient has eye redness and eye pain, but is only really bothered by the eye pain, each symptom still adds to the overall score by 1.

  • I have had TED for years

    A recent study shows TEPEZZA is proven to help patients who were diagnosed with TED years ago

    • experienced eye bulging
    • didn’t have symptom changes for at least a year prior
