Filter by:A Phase 3, randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADX-102 ophthalmic solution in Subjects with non-infectious anterior-uveitis.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the effect of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) treatment on the reduction of Anterior Uveitis (AU) flares in subjects with active axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and a documented history of AU.
25 patients who are diagnosed with Cytomegalovirus (CMV) anterior segment infection, either uveitis or endotheliitis, will be started on 2% guttae ganciclovir, 1 drop 5 times a day for 6 weeks. Following 6 weeks of continuous application of 2% guttae ganciclovir, patient will be reviewed at the clinic within 3 hours following the last application of topical ganciclovir and clinical features will be documented for activity assessment. An aqueous sample 0.2ml is drawn. 0.1ml will be sent for RT-PCR for CMV viral load and another 0.1ml will be sent for ganciclovir drug level by HPLC method.
This study investigates the variations in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness during uncomplicated anterior and intermediate uveitis, respectively. The objectives are to 1 ) confirm the RNFL thickening during an uncomplicated anterior uveitis as described in the literature, 2) measure the RNFL thickness during an uncomplicated intermediate uveitis specifically and 3) describe the variation in time of RNFL thickness during the two types of uveitis.
Uveitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory condition of unknown etiology. Although uveitis often responds adequately to topical corticosteroids, there are many patients for which this treatment is either inadequate or not tolerated. A patient with inadequate response to treatment would manifest uveitis activity by slit lamp examination determination of anterior chamber cellularity. Lack of tolerance of therapy commonly manifests as ocular hypertension (greater than 21 mmHg measured by tonometry)complicating chronic topical corticosteroid administration, leading to glaucoma and permanent visual loss. Moreover, systemic corticosteroids may be required at a dose unsafe for chronic administration. In these situations, an immunosuppressive medication is often added as a "steroid-sparing" agent. If and when there is clinical response to the added immunosuppressive, the oral and/or topical corticosteroid dose can be reduced or eliminated to avoid toxicity. There are several reasons for believing that Acthar might be beneficial in the treatment of uveitis patients. In addition to increasing adrenal production or cortisol, Acthar has another important mechanisms of action mediated by its binding of melanocortin receptors. Melanocortin down-regulates activity of B and T lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages. In animal studies, melanocortin peptides down-regulate T helper cells, up-regulate T Regulatory cells, and decrease B lymphocyte production of B Lymphocyte Stimulator. In macrophages, there is down-regulation of IL-1, IL-2, INF gamma, TNF alpha, nitric oxide and adhesion molecules. In other cells, in addition to IL-10 upregulation (monocytes), there is down-regulation of VACM and ECAM (endothelial cells), prostaglandins (fibroblasts) and MCP-1 and RANTES (renal tubules).CNS mediation of systemic inflammation may also be down-regulated by melanocortin receptor binding by Acthar.
Uveitis is a disease that affects over 2 million people around the globe, and can ultimately lead to blindness. The proportion of patients with uveitis who become blind has not been reduced over the past 30 years, and this is therefore an area that demands further research. One of the major causes of blindness in uveitic patients is the development of uveitic glaucoma, which occurs in 10-20% of uveitic eyes. This is likely to occur for reasons related to the uveitis itself, but can also be caused as a side effect of the corticosteroids used to treat uveitis. The raised IOP in uveitis is more difficult to treat than other types of glaucoma. To enable more effective treatment of uveitic glaucoma, the investigators need to understand more clearly the mechanisms which underlie this process. The investigators therefore propose a study to examine the contribution of altered aqueous dynamics to the development of raised IOP in 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.
Treatment with ACTHAR Gel will result in a reduction of ocular inflammation in patients with active ocular sarcoidosis that requires systemic immunosuppressant therapy (hypothesis)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ocular iontophoresis with dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution EGP-437 using the EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System (EGDS) compared to prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension (1%) in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether topical ocular administration of LME636 60 mg/mL is efficacious in resolving the ocular inflammation in the anterior chamber (AC) associated with acute anterior uveitis (AAU).
