Subcutaneous Tocilizumab for Thyroid Eye Disease: Simplified Dosing and Delivery

Abstract

Intravenous tocilizumab has been demonstrated to be an effective disease modifying agent in the treatment of moderate to severe active thyroid eye disease. The authors describe 2 patients treated with tocilizumab using home subcutaneous administration over an accelerated, biweekly course. Both patients exhibited improvement in thyroid eye disease clinical activity and proptosis.
