Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether methotrexate is a effective corticosteroid sparing agent in the treatment of sarcoid-associated uveitis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Apremilast in the treatment of uveitis.
The objective of this trial is to assess if treatment with basiliximab allows subjects to taper off other immunosuppressive drug regimens without causing an increase in their uveitis.
This protocol will enable IRB (institutional review board) review of proposed research using human samples and data collected under the terminated NIH studies 04-EI-0065 and 96-EI-0096. Data and samples may include demographic and personal health information, psychological or psychiatric testing, blood, urine, CSF or other body fluids or tissues and results of medical and physiological evaluation and medical imaging. Data and sample analyses are limited to those approved under the original protocols unless additional specific institutional review board approval is obtained.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implants for the management of subjects with non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye. An additional objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of two doses of fluocinolone acetonide.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravitreal implant of dexamethasone for the treatment of non-infectious anterior uveitis.
This research study is for patients that have been diagnosed with chronic uveitis, a disease that causes inflammation in the eye. Patients are currently being treated with Remicade, Humira, Methotrexate and or similar chemotherapy type drugs to control this inflammation. Despite these medications, patients still have inflammation in their eyes. Patients are being asked to add an additional drug, thalidomide.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether denufosol tetrasodium (INS37217) Intravitreal Injection is well tolerated and has the potential to treat uveitis associated macular edema.
The purpose of this project is to diagnose and evaluate ocular and related tissues with various diseases such as conjunctival, corneal, uveal, vitreoretinal and optic nerve disorders, ocular degenerative, metabolic or genetic diseases and tumors. These will be studied using light microscopy, electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, immunohistochemistry, molecular pathological including polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization, as well as measuring the functions of cellular organelles, e.g., mitochondrial function. Lymphocytes in the peripheral blood as well as other involved biopsied tissues and ocular tissue will be compared and categorized by disease. Cytokines, chemokines or growth factors and/or other released molecules in the blood and ocular fluids will be also analyzed. Elucidating the relationship between the infiltrating cells, ocular resident cells, and their products in various diseases will help us to make diagnoses and increase our understanding of human ocular disorders. Patients who require eye surgery to treat an eye disease or other disease in which the eye is involved may participate in this study. Samples of eye tissue and fluid that are normally removed and discarded during eye surgery will instead be given to researchers for study. The tissues will be examined under microscope and studied using sophisticated chemical and biological tests. Immune cells from blood samples may also be examined. These studies will help better understand and diagnose the various eye diseases and to develop more attractive therapies.
