Thyroid Eye Disease Infusion Therapy in Delaware: TEPEZZA® and LUMVOA™

Thyroid Eye Disease Infusion Therapy in Delaware: TEPEZZA® and LUMVOA™

If you have been diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), you may be looking for answers about your treatment options, and wondering what happens if your doctor recommends an infusion therapy.

Thyroid Eye Disease can affect the tissues surrounding the eyes and may cause symptoms such as eye bulging, redness, swelling, dryness, eye pain or pressure, double vision, and changes in appearance or vision.

For some patients, a specialist may recommend an FDA-approved specialty therapy such as TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) or LUMVOA™ (veligrotug-vvze).

For patients who need specialty infusion therapy in Delaware, Infusion Solutions of Delaware provides physician-directed outpatient infusion care at three convenient locations in Dover, Milford, and Newark.

Our goal is to make specialty infusion therapy a more convenient and comfortable alternative to receiving treatment in a hospital setting.

What Is Thyroid Eye Disease?

Thyroid Eye Disease is an autoimmune condition that affects tissues around the eyes. It is commonly associated with Graves’ disease and other thyroid disorders.

When the immune system affects the tissues surrounding the eyes, inflammation and tissue changes can occur.

Symptoms may include:

  • Bulging or protruding eyes
  • Eye redness or swelling
  • Dry, gritty, or irritated eyes
  • Eye pain or pressure
  • Light sensitivity
  • Double vision
  • Difficulty completely closing the eyes
  • Changes in the appearance of the eyes
  • Changes in vision

The severity and symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease can vary from patient to patient.

If you are experiencing new, worsening, or significant eye symptoms, speak with your ophthalmologist, endocrinologist, or other healthcare provider. Sudden or severe vision changes should receive prompt medical attention.

When Is Infusion Therapy Used for Thyroid Eye Disease?

There is no single treatment plan that is right for every person with Thyroid Eye Disease.

Depending on your symptoms, disease history, severity, and overall health, your healthcare provider may recommend observation, supportive treatments, medications, surgery, or specialty therapies.

For some patients, intravenous biologic therapy may be appropriate.

Two therapies patients may hear about are TEPEZZA® and LUMVOA™.

Your prescribing healthcare provider will determine whether infusion therapy is appropriate for your individual situation.

TEPEZZA® for Thyroid Eye Disease

TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) is an intravenous medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease.

TEPEZZA targets the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), a pathway involved in Thyroid Eye Disease.

The current FDA prescribing information indicates that TEPEZZA is used to treat Thyroid Eye Disease regardless of disease activity or duration. Treatment is administered intravenously according to the prescribed dosing schedule.

Whether TEPEZZA is right for you is a decision your prescribing healthcare provider will make based on your diagnosis, medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals.

LUMVOA™ for Thyroid Eye Disease

LUMVOA™ (veligrotug-vvze) is another FDA-approved treatment option for Thyroid Eye Disease.

The FDA approved LUMVOA in 2026 for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease regardless of disease activity or duration.

The availability of another FDA-approved therapy gives physicians an additional option when developing individualized treatment plans for patients with TED.

If your physician has recommended LUMVOA, ask Infusion Solutions of Delaware about current treatment availability, referral requirements, and insurance considerations.

TEPEZZA vs. LUMVOA: Which Treatment Is Right for Me?

If your doctor has discussed TEPEZZA or LUMVOA with you, you may wonder which medication is better.

The answer depends on your individual circumstances.

Your healthcare provider may consider:

  • Your Thyroid Eye Disease history
  • Whether your disease is active or chronic
  • Your symptoms and severity
  • Previous treatments
  • Your overall health
  • Potential benefits and risks
  • Your insurance coverage
  • Your physician’s treatment recommendation

Patients should not choose between these medications on their own.

Your ophthalmologist, endocrinologist, or other prescribing provider will determine which treatment is appropriate and provide the orders necessary for your infusion therapy.

What Happens After Your Doctor Prescribes an Infusion?

A specialty medication prescription is only one part of the process.

Patients often have questions about:

Will my insurance cover it?

Does my doctor need to send a referral?

Who handles prior authorization?

Where will I receive my infusion?

How do I schedule my treatment?

Infusion Solutions of Delaware helps coordinate many of these steps, so you don’t have to navigate the process alone.

Step 1: Your Healthcare Provider Sends the Referral

Your physician sends the appropriate referral, medication orders, and supporting medical information to Infusion Solutions of Delaware.

The practice provides physician forms for patient referrals and biologic infusion orders to help streamline communication between referring providers and the infusion center.

Step 2: Insurance Benefits Are Verified

Specialty medications can have complex insurance requirements.

Infusion Solutions of Delaware works with patients and insurance providers to help determine coverage and requirements before treatment.

Insurance participation and benefits can vary by plan, medication, and individual circumstances, so patients should confirm their specific coverage with the Infusion Solutions team and their insurance provider.

Step 3: Prior Authorization Is Coordinated

Some specialty medications require prior authorization before an insurance company approves treatment.

Infusion Solutions of Delaware has experience coordinating the administrative requirements associated with specialty infusion therapy.

The practice’s patient-access resources and referral process are designed to help coordinate information between patients, providers, and insurance companies.

That means your healthcare team can focus on your medical care while the infusion center helps work through the administrative process.

Step 4: Your Infusion Is Scheduled

Once the necessary referral, medication orders, insurance requirements, and authorizations are completed, your infusion can be scheduled.

Infusion Solutions of Delaware offers outpatient infusion therapy designed to provide patients with a convenient alternative to hospitalization and traditional home care.

Step 5: Receive Your Treatment in a Comfortable Outpatient Setting

On infusion day, your prescribed medication is administered by the clinical team according to your physician’s orders.

Your care team will monitor you during treatment and provide instructions regarding your infusion.

Infusion visits can also give you an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about your treatment plan.
