TEPEZZA
TEPEZZA (teprotumumab-trbw) is an insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor inhibitor indicated for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease. The medication is approved for use in patients regardless of the activity level or the duration of the disease. It serves as a targeted therapeutic option for individuals diagnosed with this condition.
How TEPEZZA Works
Teprotumumab-trbw functions by binding to the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). By binding to this specific biological target, the drug blocks the receptor's activation and its subsequent signaling. While the exact mechanism in patients with Thyroid Eye Disease is not fully characterized, the therapeutic effect is driven by this inhibition of IGF-1R.
