Infusion Therapy for Thyroid Eye Disease: TEPEZZA® and LUMVOQ™
Treatment options for Thyroid Eye Disease continue to evolve, giving patients and their healthcare providers more choices for managing this complex autoimmune condition.
Two important therapies patients may hear about are TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) and LUMVOA™ (veligrotug).
TEPEZZA® for Thyroid Eye Disease
TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) is an intravenous medication approved for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease. It works by targeting the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), which is involved in the autoimmune process associated with TED.
For appropriate patients, treatment may help address important manifestations of TED, including eye bulging (proptosis).
Your ophthalmologist or other prescribing healthcare provider will determine whether TEPEZZA® is appropriate based on your individual condition, medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals.
LUMVOA™ for Thyroid Eye Disease
LUMVOA™ (veligrotug) represents another important development in the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease.
In 2026, the FDA approved LUMVOA for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease, expanding treatment options for patients living with this condition. FDA-reviewed studies evaluated LUMVOA in both active and chronic TED and demonstrated improvement in proptosis compared with placebo.
The availability of another FDA-approved treatment option gives physicians additional flexibility when developing individualized treatment plans for patients with TED.
Importantly, TEPEZZA® and LUMVOA™ are not treatments that patients should choose between on their own. Your prescribing physician will determine which therapy, if any, is appropriate for your specific medical situation.
What Is It Like to Receive an Infusion at Big Sky IV Care?
Being told you need infusion therapy can understandably bring questions: How long will I be there? Will it hurt? What happens during the infusion? Will someone monitor me?
At Big Sky IV Care, we understand that the first infusion can feel unfamiliar. Our goal is to make the experience as comfortable, organized, and reassuring as possible.
Before Your Infusion
Your treatment begins before you arrive.
Our team works with your prescribing healthcare provider to coordinate your infusion orders and treatment plan. When you arrive, our clinical team will review your information and make sure everything is ready for your prescribed therapy.
Be sure to tell your care team about any changes in your health, new medications, allergies, or symptoms since your last appointment.
During Your Infusion
Your medication is administered through an IV according to your physician’s orders and the medication prescribed protocol.
Throughout your appointment, our clinical team is available to answer questions and monitor you according to the requirements of your treatment.
You can use your infusion time to read, listen to music or a podcast, watch something on your device, work, or simply relax.
After Your Infusion
Once your treatment is complete, our team will provide any instructions you need before leaving.
Your healthcare provider will determine your ongoing treatment schedule and monitor your response to therapy. Depending on the medication prescribed, treatment may involve a series of infusions rather than a single appointment.
