Intravitreal Adalimumab Versus Subcutaneous Adalimumab in Non-infectious Uveitis

Efficacy of Intravitreal Adalimumab Compared to Subcutaneous Adalimumab in Patients With Non-infectious Uveitis

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous (40mg) adalimumab biweekly injections to intravitreal adalimumab (1.5 mg/ 0.03 mL) administration, given at zero, 2 weeks then every four weeks, in subjects with active non-infectious intermediate-, posterior-, or pan-uveitis.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Subject is ≥ 18 years of age. - Subject is diagnosed with non-infectious intermediate-, posterior-, or pan-uveitis. - Subject must have active disease at baseline as defined by the presence of at least 1 of the following parameters in at least one eye despite at least 2 weeks of prednisone ≥ 10 mg/day (or oral corticosteroid equivalent): - Active, inflammatory, chorioretinal and/or inflammatory retinal vascular lesion - ≥ 1+ anterior chamber cells (Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature \[SUN\] criteria) - ≥ 1+ vitreous haze (National Eye Institute \[NEI\]/SUN criteria) - Subject with documented prior adequate response to oral corticosteroids (equivalent of oral prednisone up to 1 mg/kg/day). - If subject is on prednisone \>=10 mg (or corticosteroid equivalent) at baseline, the dose has not been increased or decreased in the past 14 days. - No increase in the immune modulatory therapy in the past three months - Negative PPD test. - Positive PPD test on anti Tb medications. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Subject with isolated anterior uveitis. - Subject with confirmed or suspected infectious uveitis, including but not limited to infectious uveitis due to TB, cytomegalovirus, lyme disease, toxoplasmosis and herpes simplex virus (HSV). - Subject with serpiginous choroidopathy. - Subject with corneal or lens opacity that precludes visualization of the fundus or that likely requires cataract surgery during the duration of the trial. - Subject with corneal or lens opacities that preclude the evaluation of the vitreous haze. - Subject with uncontrolled high intraocular pressure of ≥ 25 mmHg on maximal therapy. - Subject with intermediate uveitis and symptoms and/or MRI findings suggestive of a demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis. All subjects with intermediate uveitis must have had a prior brain MRI at time of or after diagnosis of intermediate uveitis. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
