Brief summary
The goal of this interventional study is to compare the clinical outcomes of shortened 4-infusion course versus the standard 8-infusion course of Teprotumumab (Tepezza) in patients with active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). The main question it aims to answer is: \* Is a shorter course equally effective and safe for patients who respond well early in treatment. Participants who demonstrate an early clinical response as part of their treatment with Teprotumumab will receive a shorter protocol of 4 infusions instead of the standard 8.
Interventions
As a standard of care Teprotumumab is administered intravenously every 3 weeks for a total of 8 infusions (24 weeks). In the Shortened Arm participants receive a total of 4 infusions (12 weeks) provided they met the Early Optimal Clinical Response criteria at Week 12.
