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.Entities:
