Summary

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.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of an Intravitreal Fluocinolone Acetonide Implant in Subjects With Non-Infectious Uveitis Affecting the Posterior Segment of the Eye

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double-Blind, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Recurrence of uveitis before and after implantation. Postimplantation recurrences were evaluated using protocol-defined criteria based upon changes in VA, vitreous haze, and the presence of cells in the anterior chamber of the eye.

Secondary outcome: Between-dose group and within-subject comparisons (Study to Fellow eye) for uveitis recurrence; time to first recurrence; need for adjunctive uveitis treatment; reduction in the area of cystoid macular edema; results of quality of life surveys.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 6 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Males or non-pregnant females at least 6 years of age who had been diagnosed and

treated for recurrent,

- Non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of one or both eyes for at

least 1 year prior to the start of the study,

- Had clinically 'quiet' eyes at surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Coexistent medical or ocular conditions that would interfere with obtaining or

interpreting data for this study.
