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.
