Active clinical trials for "Uveitis"

An Observational Change-From-Baseline Evaluation of Corneal Endothelial Cell Density in Eyes Treated with a Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal Implant

Chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) - including inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), rheumatic conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis), inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa) and non-infectious uveitis are treated with biologics targeting the pro-inflammatory molecule tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF), i.e. TNF inhibitors. Up to one third of the patients do, however, not respond to biologics and lifestyle is assumed to affect the treatment outcome. However, little is known on the effects of lifestyle as a prognostic factor (possibly enabling personalised medicine). The aims of this multidisciplinary collaboration are to identify lifestyle factors that support individualised forecasting of optimised treatment outcome on these costly drugs. This prospective cohort study will enrol CID patients assigned for biologic treatment. At baseline (Pre-treatment), patient characteristics are assessed using patient-reported outcome measures and clinical assessments on disease activity, quality of life, and lifestyle together with registry data on comorbidity and medication. Follow-up will be conducted at week 14-16 after treatment initiation (according to the current Danish standards). Evaluation of a successful treatment outcome response will - for each disease - be based on most frequently used primary endpoints; the major outcome of the analyses will be to detect differences in treatment outcome between patients with specific lifestyle characteristics. The overarching goal of this project is to improve the lives of patients suffering from CID, by providing evidence to support dietary recommendations likely to improve the clinical outcome. The study is approved by the local Ethics Committee (S-20160124) and the local Data Agency (2008-58-035). The study findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, via patient associations, and presented at national and international conferences.

Background: Uveitis refers to a large group of inflammatory diseases in the eye. The inflammation can be caused by many factors, such as trauma, medicine, or infection. It can also be caused by systemic diseases. Uveitis and ocular inflammation can cause vision loss. Both children and adults can have uveitis. Standard treatment is to suppress the immune system. But this can result in high costs as well as bad side effects. Researchers want to look at data from NEI studies. They want to learn more about how uveitis progresses and responds to treatment. Objective: To find biomarkers to better understand uveitic diseases, assess disease severity, and create outcome measures of response to treatment and disease activity. Eligibility: People ages 4 and older from certain NEI studies who have uveitis or ocular inflammation, and healthy volunteers Design: Data will be taken from NEI studies from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2025. Data will only be collected for participants who agreed to let their data be used for future research. No new tests will be done on any samples. Laboratory results and images will be used. Medical chart data, such as symptoms, medicine history, and treatment course, will be used. Personal data, such as name, medical record number, and date of birth, will be used. COVID-19 has been reported to cause eye changes. Exam findings of participants who had COVID-19 will be reviewed as well. Machine learning will be used to study the data. This study will take place at the NIH Clinical Center. All data will be securely stored.

Aim of the study is to evaluate outcome of cataract surgery in different types of uveitis as regarding best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and rate of post operative complications.

Little is known about eye drop regime adherence in the paediatric population. In particular, no previous research has investigated this in the paediatric uveitis population, a group who can require doses up to six times daily, and at frequencies that change month to month. The aim of the study is to quantify the range of adherence to eye drop medication, and to investigate some of the reasons for non-compliance in a child specific study. By learning more about compliance, this will help create treatments that are better suited to children. The study will recruit 50 children receiving eye drop treatment. After an interval of 1 week or more the children and their parents will be asked to complete a questionnaire about the frequency of the drops prescribed, and the frequency that they have used over the last interval. It will also ask questions about difficulties encountered administering the drops. Changes in eye drop bottle weight will be measured during the interval and the result compared. The information gathered from the questionnaires will be used to compare reports of adherence between the parent and child, the child's age and the bottle weight. The reasons reported for difficulties with adherence will also be reported. This is a preliminary investigatory study to identify whether an issue with medication non-adherence exists. The findings will be used to tailor further research into this area.

This non-interventional descriptive study was undertaken to better understand the most common imaging features associated with inflammation arising in the post-marketing setting when brolucizumab was prescribed in routine clinical practice.

This CARRA Registry study will create a foundational database for rheumatic diseases of childhood using a novel informatics infrastructure developed as part of the larger clinical project. The creation of a CARRA-wide informatics infrastructure will enable efficient, observational, disease-related data capture across all CARRA sites for pediatric rheumatic diseases. The CARRA Registry study will demonstrate the feasibility of expanding to more data intensive registries for observational studies, comparative effectiveness research, pharmaceutical clinical trials and translational research.

This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study to evaluate the long-term safety of OZURDEX® in patients with macular oedema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) or branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) or patients with non-infectious posterior segment uveitis in real-world clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the switch from the original infliximab ( REMICADE®) to its biosimilar (INFLECTRA®) in all the patients at Cochin hospital receiving REMICADE® for either a rheumatic, gastro-enterologic or ophthalmic condition

The family of inflammatory/autoimmune systemic diseases (IAD) form a continuum from pure inflammatory diseases to pure autoimmune diseases, encompassing a large panel of inflammatory diseases with some autoimmune components, and vice versa. Cross phenotyping of patients with IAD should be heuristic and help revise the nosography and the understanding of these diseases.
