Problems solved by technology

As described above, TED (TAO or GO) remains inadequately treated.
Prior to the approval of teprotumumab (TEPEZZA™), medical therapies, which primarily consisted of glucocorticoids, had limited efficacy and presented safety concerns.
Previous therapies for the treatment of TED (TAO or GO) had, as stated above, not only limited efficacy, but also safety concerns.

embodiments

[0021]Embodiment 1. A method of treating thyroid eye disease (TED), comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an insulin like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitor.

[0022]Embodiment 2. A method of reducing proptosis by at least 2 mm in a subject with thyroid eye disease (TED), comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an IGF-IR inhibitor.

[0023]Embodiment 3. The method of Embodiment 2, wherein proptosis is reduced by at least 3 mm.

[0024]Embodiment 4. The method of Embodiment 3, wherein proptosis is reduced by at least 4 mm.

[0025]Embodiment 5. The method of Embodiment 2, wherein the method additionally comprises reducing the clinical activity score (CAS) in the subject with TED.

[0026]Embodiment 6. The method of Embodiment 5, wherein CAS is reduced by at least 2 points.

[0027]Embodiment 7. The method of Embodiment 6, wherein CAS is reduced by at least 3 points.

[0028]Embodiment 8. The method of Embodiment 7, wherein proptosis is reduced by a...

Teprotumumab

[0414]Provided first is teprotumumab (TEPEZZA), an IGF-1R inhibitor approved for the treatment of TED. Teprotumumab and other related IGF-1R inhibitor antibodies and their methods of preparation can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 7,572,897, US20190225696, and US20190270820, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. In certain embodiments, teprotumumab may be used as an active control in clinical trials of other IGF-1R inhibitors, e.g. as in Example 31.

Abstract

Provided herein are methods of treating or reducing the severity of thyroid eye disease (TED), also known as thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), or Graves' ophthalmopathy or orbitopathy (GO), as well as antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, useful in the methods.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation in part of International Application No. PCT / US2020 / 048350, filed Aug. 28, 2020, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 892,849, filed Aug. 28, 2019, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference as if written herein in their entireties.[0002]Thyroid eye disease (TED), also known as thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), Graves' ophthalmopathy or orbitopathy (GO), thyrotoxic exophthalmos, dysthyroid ophthalmopathy, and several other terms, is orbitopathy associated with thyroid dysfunction. TAO is divided into two types. Active TED, which typically lasts 1-3 years, is characterized by an ongoing autoimmune / inflammatory response in the soft tissues of the orbit. Active TED is responsible for the expansion and remodeling of the ocular soft tissues. The autoimmune / inflammatory response of active, or acute, TED spontaneously resolves and the condition transitions into inactive TED. Inactive, or chronic, ...
