Thyroid Eye Disease Medication Linked to Permanent Hearing Loss.

Legal action is being strategized by our attorneys for Horizon Therapeutics’ failure to properly warn patients of potential hearing loss side effects.

Yes.
Scientific research has shown that Tepezza infusions can result in the following hearing problems:
The first Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuit was filed in late August 2022.
This lawsuit, filed by plaintiff David Weibel in the US District Court: Northern District of Illinois, alleges that the use of Tepezza to treat his Thyroid Eye Disease caused permanent hearing loss.
The complaint filed by the attorneys representing David Weibel states that Horizon Therapeutics ignored relevant safety concerns relating to hearing loss and hearing related side effects.
More Tepezza lawsuits are expected to be filed by other plaintiffs who have suffered hearing loss or tinnitus as a result of using Tepezza.
It is currently too early to tell what the average Tepezza settlement amount will be.
The allegations against the drug manufacturer, Horizon Therapeutics, are serious. Similar lawsuits have awarded significant settlements to victims.
Visit this page for Tepezza settlement news as it becomes available and the litigation develops further.
The Tepezza Lawsuit is ongoing and our lawyers are accepting clients in all 50 states.
A multidistrict litigation (MDL) for hearing loss claims related to Tepezza was established to manage multiple lawsuits sharing common questions of fact and law.
Tepezza Lawsuits have been consolidated in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under the jurisdiction of U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin.
The objective of the Tepezza MDL is to enhance the efficiency of legal proceedings by coordinating discovery and pretrial processes.
Judge Durkin plans to initiate a “bellwether” program, wherein a select group of representative cases will undergo targeted discovery in preparation for early trial dates.
This strategy aims to aid the parties in anticipating how juries might respond to recurring evidence and testimonies presented across the various cases involved in the litigation.

The PEC helps to oversee the litigation from the plaintiff side, advocating for the best interests of the plaintiffs involved.

The Tepezza Lawsuit is ongoing, and there are currently 37 pending cases across eight districts.Â
As there have been talks about consolidating the lawsuit into a MDL, plaintiffs have advocated for the lawsuit to be centralized in either California’s northern district or Illinois’s northern district.
On June 2, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) decided that the lawsuit should be centralized in Illinois’s northern district, citing that this location will be most convenient for all parties and witnesses and will promote efficient conduct of the litigation. This district is where the defendant, Horizon Therapeutics, is based.
The defendant Horizon opposes the consolidation of the litigation into a MDL, but the JPML justified this consolidation because all of the plaintiff’s have suffered the same specific injuries after taking the drug Tepezza. The JPML also said consolidation will help streamline the litigation process and prevent inefficient arrangements and inconsistent rulings.

The Tepezza Lawsuit for hearing loss and damage is still in its early stages. Our Tepezza Lawyers are speaking to potential clients and assessing their eligibility.Â
In news surrounding Tepezza’s manufacturer (Horizon Therapeutics), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a lawsuit to prevent Amgen’s $27.8 billion acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, which would give Amgen a monopoly over the treatment of certain conditions.
The FTC argues that Amgen’s control of Horizon’s drugs, including Tepezza for thyroid eye disease and Krystexxa for chronic refractory gout, would significantly reduce competition in those markets.
The lawsuit was filed in response to the announced deal between the companies, and the FTC seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to halt the sale.
The FTC is concerned about Amgen’s expanding reach and dominance in the pharmaceutical industry, potentially leading to increased control over pricing through multi-product contracts and bundling.

The Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) is considering whether to consolidate Tepezza Lawsuits into multidistrict litigation. The hearing for determining whether the Tepezza Lawsuit should be centralized into multidistrict litigation will take place on May 25th, 2023.
Multidistrict litigation, commonly referred to as MDL, is a special federal legal procedure designed to speed the process of handling complex litigations by consolidating cases and addressing all pretrial procedures in one court.
When a large number of people who have all been affected by the same thing file individual lawsuits, such as with Tepezza and hearing damage claims, the federal court system allows for the consolidation of these cases into an MDL to make them easier to manage.
MDLs take cases from multiple federal districts (each state has at least one district), and puts them into one district court.
This single district court, and one judge, then address all the discovery and pretrial procedures that apply to every case – cutting the costs and amount of resources needed, and keeping court rulings consistent with similar cases.
The consolidation of Tepezza Lawsuits into an MDL could be a major and welcomed development to lawyers and their clients.

We’re here to help.
At least 10 individuals who have suffered hearing loss from Tepezza have had their cases included in a motion filed in in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and asking the court to consolidate the hearing loss lawsuits before one judge.
Horizon Therapeutics, the maker of Tepezza, has been accused of knowing about hearing loss risks of Tepezza, yet failing to warn about the importance of monitoring during treatment.
It is expected that more Tepezza lawsuits will be filed in the coming months, as former users discover that their hearing loss was caused by the thyroid eye disease infusion.
Horizon has objected to the call to consolidate Tepezza hearing loss lawsuits, claiming the cases will be too different to benefit from pretrial coordination.

Tepezza is a drug used to treat Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), produced by drug manufacturer Horizon Therapeutics.
Tepezza’s “mechanism of action” is to block IGF-1R, a protein found on the surface of human cells and a key driver of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED).
By doing so, symptoms of TED are reduced, such as swelling, inflammation, double vision, blurred vision and other vision problems.
Tepezza received FDA approval in January 2020.
There were two clinical trials conducted in Europe and the United States with over 170 participants diagnosed with Thyroid Eye Disease (TED).
Thyroid Eye Disease is an eye disorder that causes swelling and inflammation to muscles, fatty tissue and connective tissue surrounding the eyes.
Thyroid Eye Disease is an autoimmune condition:
A condition that causes a person’s immune system to attack their own body.
Graves Disease is closely related to Thyroid Eye Disease.
Graves Eye Disease is an autoimmune condition that impacts a person’s eyes, thyroid and skin.
Graves Disease can cause hyperthyroidism (production of too many thyroid hormones) or hypothyroidism (lack of thyroid hormones), leading to major health problems including vision damage.
Tepezza is delivered through an injection.
Tepezza infusions, completed by a healthcare provider, are given once every three weeks.
Eight total Tepezza infusions are prescribed for people suffering from Thyroid Eye Disease.
According to medical experts at Drugs.com:
The Tepezza dose is 10 milligrams per kilograms (mg/kg) for the first dose.
The following seven (7) doses are an IV infusion of 20 mg/kg given every three (3) weeks.
According to the FDA, possible side effects of Tepezza include:
Outside of the listed side effects, there are potential hearing loss and tinnitus related side effects associated with the Thyroid Eye Disease drug.
Research studies have found that a shocking percentage of patients who received Tepezza infusions suffered from hearing loss, tinnitus and other hearing problems.
Initial studies found that hearing related side effects only impacted around 10% of those who received Tepezza infusions.
In more recent studies, such as one published by the Endocrine Society, up to 65% of patients experienced hearing loss or hearing problems.
The hearing problems suffered by Tepezza patients are serious:
“Of the 17 patients with new hearing symptoms, four had new or worsening sensorineural hearing loss, a type of hearing loss resulting from damaged hair cells in the inner ear. Three patients had patulous eustachian tube, a disorder in which the channel that runs between the middle ear and back of the nose and throat stays open. Normally, these eustachian tubes remain closed and open only occasionally to regulate air pressure around the ear drum. After three months, symptoms of patulous eustachian tube improved, but did not completely disappear. Two patients with sensorineural hearing loss had improvement in symptoms at one and six months.”
If you or a loved one took Tepezza to treat Thyroid Eye Disease and subsequently suffered from hearing related side effects, you may be eligible to file a claim.
