Through a cross-sectional descriptive analysis of ophthalmic consultation of AIDS patients in the past 3 years, the basic characteristics of patients were described according to whether there was fundus change, and the clinical characteristics and risk factors of CMVR patients with or without RD were compared.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, proof-of-concept study in patients with Active Noninfectious Intermediate, Posterior, or Panuveitis.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) remains the most common systemic disorder associated with pediatric uveitis. Studies estimate that 28-67% of patients with JIA-associated uveitis develop ocular complications, with 12% developing poor visual outcome. The only means of improving long term effects of uveitis, is early and aggressive anti-inflammatory treatment, including biologics.
This study will evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of oral brepocitinib in participants with active intermediate, posterior, or pan non-infectious uveitis (NIU).
Non-infectious intermediate-, posterior- and pan-uveitis (NIIPPU) are sight threatening diseases with a high patient burden and negative impact on quality of life. Corticosteroids remain the mainstay of first-line treatment for NIIPPU in China despite serious side effects associated with long-term and high-dose corticosteroid use. Adalimumab is used to treat NIIPPU in adults who have had inadequate response to corticosteroids, or who need corticosteroid-sparing, or in whom corticosteroid treatment is inappropriate. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and effectiveness of adalimumab in Chinese participants requiring high dose corticosteroids with NIIPPU. Adalimumab is a conditionally approved drug in China used to treat participants with NIIPPU. All participants will receive the same treatment. Approximately 87 adult participants will be enrolled at approximately 15 sites in China. Participants will receive one subcutaneous loading dose of adalimumab at baseline followed a week later by a lower dose of adalimumab every other week for up to 30 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
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.
Endophthalmitis is also called vitreous inflammation. Broadly speaking, it refers to all kinds of serious intraocular inflammation, such as vitreitis, anterior chamber empyema and eye pain caused by intraocular infection, intraocular foreign body, tumor necrosis, severe non infectious uveitis, lens cortex allergy, etc. Clinically, it generally refers to infectious endophthalmitis caused by bacteria, fungi or parasites. According to the different ways of infection, it can be divided into exogenous endophthalmitis and endogenous endophthalmitis. Exogenous endophthalmitis is more common. When inflammation involves sclera or extraocular orbital tissue, it is called "panophthalmia". Endophthalmitis is a kind of serious intraocular inflammation which can lead to the loss of visual function. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key. Studies have found that the changes of cytokines in aqueous humor are helpful for the diagnosis of endophthalmitis. Okhrvai et al. Also pointed out that the application of PCR can reduce the diagnosis time of endophthalmitis. This study mainly verified the use of molecular biology technology to detect the changes of VCAM, ICAM-1 and other cytokines, bacteria, viruses, fungi, Toxoplasma gondii IgG in patients' intraocular fluid, including aqueous humor and vitreous humor, so as to timely judge the etiology and progress of endophthalmitis, and provide reference for diagnosis and treatment.
1. Perform observational study utilizing real-time quantification of ocular inflammation to determine minimal important change. Prospective use of changes in imaging quantification of inflammation (IQI) scores in determining treatment decisions both utilizing novel FA viewer software.
This project is designed to test the hypothesis that infliximab is clinically useful for patients with refractory childhood uveitis.
