Study summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fluocinolone acetonide (FA) 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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Recurrence of uveitis before and after implantation.

    Time frame: 34 weeks pre-implantation; 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Post-implantation rate of uveitis recurrence, within patient comparison of implanted vs fellow eyes.

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

  2. Post-implantation time to recurrence of uveitis within patient comparison of implanted vs fellow eyes.

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

  3. The need for adjunctive uveitis treatment for the study eye, within patient comparison (pre- versus post-implantation)

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

  4. Reduction in the area of cystoid macular edema (CME) within patient comparison of responding eyes (implant vs fellow eyes)

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

  5. Results of QOL surveys pre- versus post-implantation

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

  6. Visual acuity, within patient comparison of responding eyes (implant vs fellow eyes)

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

  7. Time to recurrence, between treatment group comparison

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation

  8. Post implantation uveitis rate, between treatment group comparison

    Time frame: 34 weeks, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years post-implantation
