Umbrella review of the efficacy and safety of monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy
AIM:To comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab(RTX),tocilizumab(TCZ),and teprotumumab(TMB)in the treatment of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy(TAO).METHODS:A systematic search was conducted in PubMed,Embase and Cochrane Library databases for systematic reviews/meta-analyses on TAO treat-ment,with the search time limited to January 2024.The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses(PRISMA)2020 state-ment,Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews(AMSTAR)2 tool,and Grading of Recommenda-tions,Assessment,Development,and Evaluation(GRADE)were used to assess the reporting quality,methodological quality,and evidence quality of the included studies.RESULTS:The current systematic reviews on the three monoclonal antibodies in TAO treatment exhibited deficiencies in reporting quali-ty,methodological quality,and evidence quality.Di-rect comparative evidence between the three monoclonal antibodies is still lacking.Based on indi-rect comparative evidence,TCZ appears to be the most promising treatment option,followed by TMB and RTX.In terms of efficacy,TCZ and TMB signifi-cantly reduced the Clinical Activity Score(CAS),pro-ptosis,and improved quality of life.TCZ also signifi-cantly reduced the incidence of diplopia.RTX signif-icantly reduced disease response,while RTX and TCZ both significantly improved disease inactiva-tion rates.RTX showed no significant difference in diplopia,lid fissure changes,NOSPECS score and quality of life.The conclusions regarding safety are inconsistent,with TCZ and TMB potentially increas-ing the incidence of adverse events,while RTX showed no significant difference in safety com-pared to glucocorticoids or placebo.CONCLUSION:This study provides evidence-based insights for the selection of three monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of TAO.While TCZ may have advantages in efficacy,considering the limitations of existing evidence,more high-quality studies are needed to further verify and compare the efficacy and safety of different monoclonal antibodies in TAO treat-ment.
