View clinical trials related to Uveitis.
Filter by:Childhood uveitis (inflammation inside the eye) is an uncommon disorder that carries the risk of blindness. Inadequate treatment of active inflammation has been shown to be related to a poor outcome. There has been no population-based, prospective longitudinal study of all-cause childhood uveitis, with resultant limitations in the evidence base used to counsel affected families, balance treatment decisions, or plan further research. The aim of the study is to describe the characteristics of childhood-onset uveitis and describe outcomes. The investigators shall also aim to identify the socio-demographic, clinical, biological and treatment-related determinants of outcome. Early (1-2 years following diagnosis) outcomes will be described in the first instance: However, through the creation of a national inception cohort, the investigators shall enable longer-term studies of outcome for affected children and families. There will be no change to routine clinical care.
Izokibep is a small protein molecule that acts as a selective, potent inhibitor of interleukin-17A, to which it binds with high affinity. This study investigates izokibep in subjects with active non-infectious, intermediate-, posterior- or pan-uveitis requiring high-dose steroids.
Retrospective study at the Brest universitary hospital to evaluate the efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) and azathioprine (AZA) in background treatment of unidentified non anterior uveitis.
- Reviewing the characteristics of patients with uveitis caused by Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome treated at Assiut University Hospital at the Department of Ophthalmology and Department of Rheumatology, Physical Medicine, and Rehabilitation including the ocular features in terms of uveitis location, type and complications and systemic features of those subjects who showed an inadequate response to conventional immunomodulatory drugs. - Assess the results of treatment with biologic drugs, including rates of failure and adverse events. This will help uveitis specialists to reach a conclusion about the best treatment protocols for Uveitis in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome in our population in terms of safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness.
A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of YUTIQ® 0.18 mg intravitreal implant for the management of chronic non-infectious posterior segment uveitis (intraocular inflammation) that has responded to previous steroid therapy.
This is a multi-center randomized controlled evaluator-masked trial designed to compare metagenomic deep sequencing (MDS) versus standard of care testing for improvement of outcomes for intraocular infections. Patients with presumed intraocular infections who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive MDS testing results or not to receive MDS testing results. All patients will receive standard-of-care testing to guide management. Enrolled patients will be followed at week 2, week 3-6 (randomization visit), and at 4 weeks after the randomization visit. The proportions of patients who received the appropriate therapy and the proportions of patients with improved outcome will be compared between arms. Patient quality of life, MDS performance, and the provider certainly of belief will be collected.
Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are clinical entities characterized by recurrent inflammatory attacks in absence of infection, neoplasm or deregulation of the adaptive immune system. Among them, hereditary periodic syndromes, also known as monogenic AID, represent the prototype of this disease group, caused by mutations in genes involved in the regulation of innate immunity, inflammation and cell death. Based on recent experimental acquisitions in the field of monogenic AID, several immunologic disorders have been reclassified as polygenic/multifactorial AID, sharing pathogenetic and clinical features with hereditary periodic fevers. This has paved the way to new treatment targets for patients suffering from rare diseases of unknown origin, including Behçet's disease, Still disease, Schnitzler's disease, PFAPA (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis) syndrome, chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), non-infectious uveitis and scleritis. Gathering information on such rare conditions is made difficult by the small number of patients, along with the difficulty of obtaining an accurate diagnosis in non-specialized clinical settings. In this context, the AIDA project promotes international collaboration among clinical centres to develop a permanent registry aimed at collecting demographic, genetic, clinical and therapeutic data of patients affected by monogenic and polygenic AID, in order to expand the current knowledge of these rare conditions.
This is a multicenter, prospective, post-marketing clinical study with a total of 60 uveitis (UV) subjects planned to be enrolled. Screening period (-2~0 weeks) ,Treatment period (1-22 weeks), Follow-up period, At the same time, plasma concentration will be determined
TNF-α inhibitors, like Adalimumab, have good efficacy in non-infectious uveitis, but long-term use can increase the risk of drugs, and the patient's financial burden is large. The objective of this study was to explore the reduction or withdrawal of Adalimumab in uveitis patients with stable drug control, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug reduction in uveitis patients, as well as the impact on their vision prognosis.
The purpose of this study is twofold: 1. To analyze the clinical features of a cohort of patients with birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR), an inflammatory bilateral ocular disease, affecting the choroid and the retina. Various imaging techniques will be used to assess the effect of the disease on the retina and the choroid. A standardized assessment of the visual function will be performed with visual acuity, visual field and color vision testing. The quality of life of the patients will be evaluated with the VFQ-25 questionnaire. These analyses will help delineating different forms of the disease among its heterogeneous presentations. 2. To identify predisposing factors for the disease. The condition is unique from the immunogenetic standpoint by its association with the HLA-A29 allele, which is the strongest link between an HLA class I antigen and a disease. To date, however, the mechanisms leading to birdshot chorioretinopathy remain unknown. GWAS (Genome Wide association Study) based on DNA of the cohort patients will be performed with the aim to identify other susceptibility genes associated with BCR.
