Active clinical trials for "Pars Planitis"

This was a multi-center, randomized, active-controlled, open-label study. Approximately 24 patients with active, non-infectious intermediate-, posterior-, or panuveitis requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy were enrolled. Safety, efficacy, and PK assessments occurred at scheduled visits over a 12-week period. Low-molecular-weight non-steroidal immunosuppressive medications were allowed up to the baseline day as long as the dose had not changed in the 3 weeks prior to baseline, except for corticosteroid doses for which might have changed. Patients responding to treatment were offered up to 6 months of extended treatment. Assessments for safety included laboratory safety tests, ECGs, physical exams, ocular exams, vital signs and the monitoring of adverse events. Study participation varied from a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 9 months.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LX211 as therapy in subjects with clinically quiescent non-infectious uveitis

The purpose of this study is to investigate if interferon beta is superior to the standard treatment with Methotrexate for the treatment of intermediate uveitis and macular edema.

Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, masked, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an injectable fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal (FAI) insert for the management of subjects with chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye. Patients will be randomized to receive either a sham injection or the FAI insert and will be observed for three years following treatment.

To review chart data at the Duke Eye Center and determined whether a 3-year fluocinolone acetonide sustained drug delivery system (FA) safely suppressed postoperative inflammation when combined with phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation (phaco/PCIOL) in eyes with severe uveitis.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LX211 as therapy in subjects with active non-infectious uveitis

The purpose of this study is to find out about the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, sirolimus, in patients with uveitis and to utilize the potential effectiveness of sirolimus, and yet to avoid the potential complications of systemic use of the drug. In this study, the investigators will administer sirolimus either around (subconjunctival injection) or inside the eye (intravitreal injection). Local administration of sirolimus to the eye is not expected to have effects on the rest of the body. Therefore, it may offer a safer way than the current methods used to control the inflammation caused by non-infectious uveitis.

Uveitis represents a heterogeneous group of diseases that results from ocular inflammatory reaction involving ocular tissue and vasculature. The inflammation usually causes pain, redness, photophobia and blurred vision. This inflammation, is typically treated with regional or systemic therapy. The regional therapy typically consists of topical corticosteroids or periocular or regional corticosteroids. Regional therapy can lead to a steroid response glaucoma, which is increased intraocular pressure.This pilot study aims to evaluate the possible effectiveness of H.P. Acthar in patients with active ocular inflammatory disease, and currently on treatment for glaucoma or have a history of glaucoma.

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of suprachoroidally administered triamcinolone acetonide, CLS-TA, in subjects with macular edema associated with non-infectious uveitis.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not the dexamethasone pellet (Ozurdex®, Allergan, Irvine, CA) can replace oral corticosteroid (e.g. prednisone) in the treatment of active sight-threatening, noninfectious intermediate and/or posterior uveitis in which immunosuppressive drug therapy is indicated. Uveitis is an inflammation inside the eye. Uveitis can decrease patients' vision if it is not treated. The dexamethasone pellet is an implant filled with a corticosteroid medicine. This therapy is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of intermediate and/or posterior uveitis. In this study investigators want to see if using the implant together with systemic immunosuppressive drug therapy can result in lower ocular side effect profile but is effective enough to replace the use of high-dose systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of active intermediate and/or posterior uveitis. Knowing the effectiveness and safety of these treatments is important because the kinds of uveitis being studied usually need to be treated for many years. This information may help researchers understand uveitis better and may suggest ways of improving treatment. Adult patients with intermediate and/or posterior uveitis for which immunosuppressive drug therapy with high-dose corticosteroid is planned may join.
