Overall, when this drug is approved, how do you think you will use this agent vs Tepezza?
Regarding hearing impairment, for the Tepezza trials 0% of placebo patients reported it, where as on here, you have 11% of placebo patients reporting it. So even though on a placebo adjusted basis its better than Tepezza, do you think that in the 'real world', hearing impairment might actually be worse than Tepezza?
Can you discuss your clinical practice and research interests, particularly your experience with treating thyroid eye disease (TED) patients?
What are your thoughts on the efficacy and adverse events of Tepezza, especially regarding real-world patient outcomes and safety concerns like hearing loss?
How do you view the expanding use of Tepezza for chronic TED, and what factors influence your decision to recommend surgery over medication in such cases?
Given the recent results of the VRDN-001 trial, how do you compare its efficacy, safety profile, and infusion regimen with Tepezza for treating active TED?
