So this Tepeeza drug owned by HZNP (soon to be owned by AMGN) is a first and only FDA approved drug for TED which has a course of IV's lasting 6 months.
Is that a cure? I've always thought that a cure would be a boon to mankind, but in this case of TED, it's a rare affliction. Nothing like a "cure" for cancer. If it's not a cure, why only a 6-month course?
Fine, but then why would HZNP (soon to be AMGN) want to re-do this drug to be administered by a pen device (which suggests at-home use)?
Maybe some of the details of the deal that have not been revealed included a license to use the XERS technology for other HNZP (soon to be AMGN) drugs?
I don't know, but I'd be open to suggestions.
