Teprotumumab, a disease-modifying therapy, is currently the only drug approved by the FDA specifically for the thyriod eye disease (TED). Despite being available since 2020, there are no guidelines to optimize its use in clinical practice. To address this gap, an expert panel came to a consensus on teprotumumab treatment recommendations, includding when to initiate treatment, pretreatment considerations, monitoring throughout treatment, and strategies for mitigating and managing treatment-related adverse effects.
