“…The studies in TED patients have used intravenous TCZ 8 mg/kg or placebo on weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 ( 84 , 111 , 112 ). A subcutaneous preparation of TCZ is now available and requires further exploration in TED ( 113 , 114 ).…”

Thyroid eye disease (TED) remains challenging for clinicians to evaluate and manage. Novel therapies have recently emerged, and their specific roles are still being determined. Most patients with TED develop eye manifestations while being treated for hyperthyroidism and under the care of endocrinologists. Endocrinologists, therefore, have a key role in diagnosis, initial management, and selection of patients who require referral to specialist care. Given that the need for guidance to endocrinologists charged with meeting the needs of patients with TED transcends national borders, and to maximize an international exchange of knowledge and practices, the American Thyroid Association and European Thyroid Association joined forces to produce this Consensus Statement.

“…Novel treatments that are currently being explored include the use of selenium, small-molecule ligand antagonists for the TSH receptor stimulatory antibodies and the use of teprotumumab (an IGF-1 receptor blocker), tocilizumab (IL-6 receptor antagonist), and rituximab (Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody), especially for corticosteroids resistant cases [28][29][30] .…”

Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is a complex pathology most of the time accompanying Graves' disease, also present in other thyroid states, such as Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and euthyroid states. The term Grave's disease associated ophthalmopathy can be misleading as it does not include all thyroid states associated to this eye condition. Its pathophysiology includes complex autoimmune mechanisms associated with fibroblasts, T-lymphocytes, myocytes, thyroid cells, adipocytes, and pro-inflammatory molecules, leading to several changes in the orbital content, including limitation of space, functional impairment, and complications secondary to the initial process. Reviewing its diagnostic methods and treatments is necessary due to new insights into the pathophysiology. The complexity of its pathogenesis is accompanied by a practical assessment and classification that allows clinicians to obtain significant amount of success when treating it.

“…Prior studies have elucidated that the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous TCZ are almost congruent with intravenous administration in patients with rheumatoid arthritis [64] . Its off-label subcutaneous use has been described in several GO cases that all exhibited clinical improvement in thyroid eye disease activity [55,65,66] . Therefore, the therapy of TCZ in GO still needs further research.…”

Purpose: To review the pathogenesis and current targeted biologic therapies of Thyroidassociated orbitopathy (TAO). Methods: Pubmed, Cochrane Library databases, Wanfang database and recent relevant journal articles were searched. Results: TAO, a potentially vision-threatening disease, is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' Disease (GD). The complex pathogenesis of TAO involves in multiple factors, which has puzzled scientists for many years. With emerging advances in pathogenesis of TAO, novel therapeutic targets have been discovered. For example, rituximab (that acts against CD20), tocilizumab (that acts against the IL-6 receptor), teprotumumab (that blocks IGF-1R) and TNF-αinhibitors have proven to be useful and safe therapeutic options in TAO treatment. Conclusions: Targeted biological agents can provide many benefits for TAO treatments. And there is still a long way to go before the potential molecular pathogenesis and novel treatment options of GO are revealed.
