Clinical Trial Summary

Children with anterior uveitis are prone to suffer from chronic recurrent course of intraocular inflammation and adverse effects of glucocorticosteroids (GCs) /immunomodulatory treatment (IMT) agents. The performance of adalimumab has been shown to be fairly favorable in treating refractory non-infectious uveitis. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab for inflammatory flare prevention in non-infectious anterior pediatric uveitis with peripheral vascular leakage compared with methotrexate. Children weighed ≥ 30kg and aged between 4-16 years old with active chronic non-infectious anterior uveitis with peripheral retinal vascular leakage on ultra wildfield fluorescence fundus angiography (UWFFA) will be included. They will be treated with a predesigned inflammatory control regimen to reach inflammatory quiescence in 1 month. After that they will be treated with either MTX or adalimumab and regularly followed up for at least 6 months. The primary endpoint is treatment failure defined as any inflammatory fare with anterior chamber cell count grading increased from 0 to 1. Secondary endpoints are best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), inflammation parameters (keratic precipitates, vitreous haze grades), extent of vascular leakage, frequency of topical steroid eyedrops, systemic immunosuppressive drug load, and adverse events.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective, single-center, interventional, randomized, non-blinded, controlled clinical trial that will be performed at the Ophthalmology Department, Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Children with active noninfectious anterior uveitis demonstrating peripheral vascular leakage on UWFFA and meet the selection criteria will be randomly assigned to treatment group or control group. Both groups will be treated with a predesigned plan for the active inflammation. At one month or when patients' ocular inflammation gets controlled to 0.5+ cell in the anterior chamber, whichever comes later, patients in the treatment group will be given adalimumab subcutaneously at 40mg every 2 weeks, patients in the control group will be given methotrexate10mg orally once a week. Follow-up visits will be scheduled every two weeks at the run-in period and the first month after randomization, and every month from the second to the sixth month. The primary endpoint is treatment failure defined as any inflammatory fare with anterior chamber cell count grading increased from 0 to 1. Secondary endpoints are best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), inflammation parameters (keratic precipitates, vitreous haze grades), extent of vascular leakage, frequency of topical steroid eyedrops, systemic immunosuppressive drug load, and adverse events. ;
