Two-thirds of eyes had regression despite initial teprotumumab response, typically within 1 year of treatment, with ongoing worsening over time. Most patients maintained some proptosis reduction compared with before treatment despite regression, although 25% were worse than pretreatment. The occurrence of regression was independent of the pretreatment duration of clinical thyroid eye disease. Overall, compared with preteprotumumab, there was a greater amount of improvement than regression at most recent follow-up.
