An observational study in Uveitis and YUTIQ, sponsored by Tianjin Medical University. Recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-07-03.
Sponsored by Tianjin Medical University · Observational
This project is designed to evaluate the efficacy of YUTIQ® 0.18 mg intravitreal implant for the management of chronic non-infectious uveitis.
Approval of the study was obtained from the hospital's ethical committee. The study design and methodology followed the tenets of Declaration of Helsinki. All patients were provided with written informed consent and received a thorough explanation of the use of Yutiq, its potential risks and benefits. This is a monocenter, cohort, observational study evaluating patients with chronic non-infectious uveitis divided into two groups: Yutiq therapy group and traditional therapy group.
For Yutiq therapy group, patients will receive YUTIQ® 0.18 mg as an intravitreal injection in the designated study eye. For the traditional therapy group, patients were treated with glucocorticoids alone or glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressants. Study participants will be followed for up to 3 years to determine efficacy and side effects.
According to best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation, optical coherence tomography (OCT), change in corticosteroid dose during the study period and so on. The investigators evaluate the anti-inflammatory and reducing relapses effects of Yutiq in treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis.
299 studies on the registry are indexed under Uveitis; 32 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 15 is below the median of 107 across 104 observational studies indexed under Uveitis.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Corticosteroids (steroids)

Immunosuppression
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Patients will receive YUTIQ® 0.18 mg as an intravitreal injection in the designated study eye and will be followed for 36 months after treatment.
Drug: Yutiq
Patients were treated with glucocorticoids alone or glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressants and were followed for up to 36 months.
YUTIQ® 0.18 mg as an intravitreal injection in the designated study eye.
Change In LogMAR Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) From Baseline to Each Visit.
Participant's best corrected visual acuity was measured using an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) logMAR chart. On the logMAR scale, 0 is equivalent to 20/20 visual acuity, the range of normal vision is considered to be from -0.2 - 0.1; higher values indicate visual impairment.
Time frame: 12 months
Recurrence rates
The recurrence rates in Yutiq group and traditional therapy group
Time frame: 36 months
Change in Anterior Chamber (AC) Cell Grade From Baseline to Each Visit
Slit lamp examinations were conducted at each visit to assess AC cell count. The number of AC cells observed within a 1 mm × 1 mm slit beam was used to determine the grade according to the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) criteria: Grade 0 = \< 1 cell Grade 0.5+ = 1 - 5 cells Grade 1+ = 6 - 15 cells Grade 2+ = 16 - 25 cells Grade 3+ = 26 - 50 cells Grade 4+ = \> 50 cells.
Time frame: 12 months
Prednisone exposure
Cumulative prednisone dose and/or mean prednisone dose
Time frame: 36 months
Started Jan 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2025, 33 months after the start.
Of 32 observational studies under Uveitis, half reached primary completion within 77 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 143. This study's planned 33 months is below that.
