Efficacy

TEPEZZA: a nonsurgical treatment proven to
significantly reduce proptosis, regardless of disease
activity or duration1-3

Phase 3

Phase 3 Study Design
* A proptosis responder was defined as having a ≥2-mm reduction in proptosis from baseline in the study eye without deterioration (≥2-mm increase in proptosis) in the non-study eye.
TEPEZZA
Placebo

Phase 4

Phase 4 Study Design
* A proptosis responder was defined as having a ≥2-mm reduction in proptosis from baseline in the study eye without deterioration (≥2-mm increase in proptosis) in the non-study eye.

The benefits of TEPEZZA go beyond proptosis
reduction1-3,5-7

Phase 2/3 Study Design
Phase 4 Study Design
Pooled analysis of Phase 2/3 studies (N=171)5

DIPLOPIA

2X more patients had complete diplopia
resolution vs placebo3,5

Secondary endpoint
Diplopia resolution rate (grade 0) at Week 24 within the subset of
patients in the studies with diplopia at baseline

Diplopia was evaluated on a 4-point scale where scores ranged from 0 for no diplopia to 3 for constant diplopia. A diplopia responder was defined as a patient with baseline diplopia >0 and a score of 0 at Week 24.2,3

In the Phase 4 trial in patients with chronic TED, no differences between the teprotumumab and placebo groups were observed for diplopia endpoints. The trial was not powered to detect a treatment difference in diplopia due to the low incidence of diplopia at baseline among the study subjects.1

TEPEZZA
Placebo

INFLAMMATION

Almost 3X more patients experienced
reduction in inflammation5,7

Secondary endpoint
In patients with CAS ≥4 at baseline inflammatory
response (CAS 0 or 1, inactive disease state) at Week 24

The Clinical Activity Score (CAS) is a composite score with equal weighting of each of these seven factors: spontaneous orbital pain, gaze-evoked orbital pain, eyelid swelling that isconsidered to be due to active TED, eyelid erythema (redness), conjunctival redness considered to be due to active TED, chemosis (swelling of the conjunctive), and inflammation of the caruncle or plica. However, the factors may not be of equal clinical weight to patients or to physicians treating these patients and as such the clinical meaningfulness is unknown.8

TEPEZZA
Placebo

Phase 2 and 3: Patients with active TED were studied in 24-week, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trials.2,6

Phase 2/3 Study Design
Phase 4 study (N=62)1

MRI

In 6 patients who were assessed, decrease
in orbital fat/muscle volume was
observed1

In observation of 6 TEPEZZA patients who had an orbital MRI (12 eyes total), a decrease in orbital fat and muscle volume was shown. Analysis is exploratory and has not been adjusted for multiple comparisons. No conclusions of statistical or clinical significance can be drawn.

Phase 4: Patients with chronic TED studied in a 24-week, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial.1

TEPEZZA
Placebo

GO-QOL

Changes in GO-QOL vs placebo6,†

GO-QOL (Graves’ ophthalmopathy quality of life patient-reported questionnaire) is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire divided into 2 subscales that is used to measure changes over time in visual functioning and appearance. Equal weight is assigned to 8 measures of visual functioning and appearance, respectively, however their relative importance is unknown. The GO-QOL is not validated in patients with TED. As such, results should be interpreted with caution.2

Kahaly 2024: 112 patients who received 7 or 8 infusions of TEPEZZA in the Phase 2, Phase 3 (OPTIC study), and OPTIC Extension (OPTIC-X) studies were analyzed for long-term maintenance of responses. Responses were assessed and pooled from study baseline to Week 24 (formal study) and up to Week 72 (formal follow-up).§ Outcomes included the percentages of observed patient responses from the study baseline. Studies differed in the timing of follow-up visits, and data from some visits were unavailable. 11

‡ Consider open-label treatment phase study limitations when interpreting results. The OPTIC-X study was not blinded, not controlled, and included inherent self-selection bias for remaining in the trial. 11

§Responses assessed included clinical activity score (CAS ≥2-point improvement), the European Group of Graves’ Orbitopathy ophthalmic composite outcome, diplopia (≥1 Gorman grade improvement), proptosis (≥2-mm improvement), Overall (improvement in proptosis and CAS), and disease inactivation (CAS ≤1).11

has changed the
treatment landscape
in TED

  • Read transcript

    My name is Amina Malik and I'm an oculoplastic surgeon at Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas.

    So, I have a busy oculoplastics practice there with a big proportion of patients with thyroid eye disease.

    Thyroid eye disease is a very heterogeneous disease.

    So, I think it's important for general practitioners, general ophthalmologists, endocrinologists, just to be aware that it can present in a variety of ways.

    So I think it's important general practitioners consider referring to a TED specialist so that they can catch the disease early in the process and uh hopefully optimally treat them.

    Thyroid eye disease can be a very debilitating process. I've had more than one patient in my office in tears because of how this disease has affected them.

    I've been treating patients with TEPEZZA from the onset since 2020 and I have had excellent experience in seeing huge impacts on my patients' proptosis, their double vision. I've seen huge improvements in that. Whereas in other patients, they might have milder disease and yet I've still treated them and have seen really uh significant improvements there as well. And there is definitely a subset of patients who are very bothered by pressure behind their eyes and other symptoms that would prompt them to want to pursue treatment with TEPEZZA.

    So, the spectrum for which I have had experience is quite broad and the results have been really dramatic. When I speak to my patients who have thyroid eye disease who are symptomatic enough to want to consider therapy, we, I go over the options of TEPEZZA as the first FDA-approved treatment and only FDA-approved treatment for Thyroid Eye Disease and I'll go over the side effects and potential risks involved. Prior to the development of TEPEZZA, surgery was really the mainstay.

    And it's been really remarkable to have something to offer my patients that is a medical option and it's just really exciting to see the gratitude that patients have for the transformations that they’re seeing after treatment with this drug.

    INDICATION

    TEPEZZA is indicated for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease regardless of Thyroid Eye Disease activity or duration.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    Warnings and Precautions

    Infusion Reactions: TEPEZZA may cause infusion reactions. Infusion reactions have been reported in approximately 4% of patients treated with TEPEZZA. Reported infusion reactions have usually been mild or moderate in severity. Signs and symptoms may include transient increases in blood pressure, feeling hot, tachycardia, dyspnea, headache, and muscular pain. Infusion reactions may occur during an infusion or within 1.5 hours after an infusion. In patients who experience an infusion reaction, consideration should be given to premedicating with an antihistamine, antipyretic, or corticosteroid and/or administering all subsequent infusions at a slower infusion rate.

    Preexisting Inflammatory Bowel Disease: TEPEZZA may cause an exacerbation of preexisting inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Monitor patients with IBD for flare of disease. If IBD exacerbation is suspected, consider discontinuation of TEPEZZA.

    Hyperglycemia: Increased blood glucose or hyperglycemia may occur in patients treated with TEPEZZA. In clinical trials, 10% of patients (two-thirds of whom had preexisting diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance) experienced hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemic events should be managed with medications for glycemic control, if necessary. Monitor patients for elevated blood glucose and symptoms of hyperglycemia while on treatment with TEPEZZA. Patients with preexisting diabetes should be under appropriate glycemic control before receiving TEPEZZA.

    Adverse Reactions

    The most common adverse reactions (incidence greater than or equal to 5% and greater than placebo) are muscle spasm, nausea, alopecia, diarrhea, fatigue, hyperglycemia, hearing impairment, dysgeusia, headache, dry skin, and menstrual disorders.

Hyperglycemic events should be controlled with medications for glycemic control, if necessary. Assess patients for elevated blood glucose and symptoms of hyperglycemia prior to infusion and continue to monitor while on treatment with TEPEZZA. Ensure patients with hyperglycemia or preexisting diabetes are under appropriate glycemic control before and while receiving TEPEZZA.

Hearing Impairment Including Hearing Loss: TEPEZZA may cause severe hearing impairment including hearing loss, which in some cases may be permanent. Assess patients’ hearing before, during, and after treatment with TEPEZZA and consider the benefit-risk of treatment with patients.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥5% and greater than placebo) are muscle spasm, nausea, alopecia, diarrhea, fatigue, hyperglycemia, hearing impairment, dysgeusia, headache, dry skin, weight decreased, nail disorders, and menstrual disorders.
