Study summary

The main aim is to test how safe and effective the medicine ILUVIEN® (190μg) is for children and adolescents, who have non-infectious uveitis that keeps coming back and affects the back of the eye.

The main thing Alimera wants to find out is how well the implant works for treating non-infectious uveitis in the back of the eye. Treatment success will be measured after 6 months of using the implant.

The treatment will be considered successful if two things happen:

  1. No swelling in the back of the eye called cystoid macular oedema;
  2. A decrease in the cloudiness inside the eye, called vitreous haze, by at least two levels compared to how it was before the treatment, or the vitreous haze is completely gone.

Participants will:

  1. Receive a single treatment with ILUVIEN®, which is a tiny tube that is to be implanted in the eye and releases low levels of the corticosteroid (fluocinolone acetonide) in the eye for up to 36 months.
  2. Be followed for 36 months for checkups and tests

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.

Inclusion criteria

  • Males and females of ≥6 and \<18 years of age at time of consent
  • Non-infectious posterior, intermediate or panuveitis in the study eye with a history of recurrence ≥1 per year as assessed by the Investigator
  • Uveitis in the study eye not adequately controlled by the preferred standard of care due to intolerable adverse effects or poor response, in the judgment of the Investigator
  • Treatment with systemic or other systemic therapies given for at least 3 months within the previous 12 months prior to Day 1

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of intraocular surgery in the study eye within 90 days of the screening visit.
  • to FA or any component of ILUVIEN®
  • History of any form of glaucoma or ocular hypertension in study eye, unless study eye has been previously treated with an incisional IOP-lowering surgical procedure at least 90 days prior to the screening visit and that procedure has resulted in stable IOP in the normal range (10-21 mmHg)
  • Increased intraocular pressure >25 mmHg or that required treatment including increases in medications, surgery (other than drainage surgery), or hospitalisations, within 4 weeks prior to baseline that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would pose an unacceptable risk to the patient participating in the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

Hypersensitivity

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.

    ILUVIEN® 190μg

    Drug: fluocinolone acetonide 190 micrograms

Interventions

  • Drugfluocinolone acetonide 190 micrograms

    ILUVIEN®, is a tiny tube that is to be implanted in the eye and releases low levels of the corticosteroid (fluocinolone acetonide) in the eye. ILUVIEN® delivers corticosteroid directly to the intended site of action for up to 36 months.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Absence of cystoid macular oedema on Optical Coherence Tomography and a decrease from baseline in vitreous haze grade of ≥2 steps, or absence of vitreous haze.

    The primary endpoint for evaluating the effect of the implant on non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye will be based on treatment success, determined at 6 months after administration. Treatment success will be determined based on a composite variable defined as Absence of cystoid macular oedema on Optical Coherence Tomography and a decrease from baseline in vitreous haze grade of ≥2 steps, or absence of vitreous haze.

    Time frame: 6 months after administration

  2. Rate of cataract formation and Rate of IOP elevation

    The primary endpoint for evaluating the safety of the implant on non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye will be determined. * Rate of cataract formation * Rate of IOP elevation (Change from baseline in IOP and incidence of significant changes in IOP, including: IOP\>21 mmHg, IOP\>25 mmHg, IOP\>30 mmHg, increases from baseline of 10 mmHg or more).

    Time frame: 6 months after administration

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in vision and incidence of increase in IOP, AE, and uveitis recurrence

    * Absence of CMO and decrease from baseline in vitreous haze grade of ≥2 steps, or absence of vitreous haze at end of the study * Uveitis recurrence rate following treatment, compared to the uveitis recurrence rate over the 12 months prior to enrolment * Incidence of recurrence of non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment in the SE and in the FE after receiving study treatment * Time to recurrence of non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment * Change in macular oedema, * Change in BCVA * Change in vitreous haze * Change in AC cell grade * Incidence of secondary increase in IOP and secondary increase in IOP requiring surgical intervention * Incidence and onset of secondary lens opacity and extraction * Number of adjunctive treatments required to treat recurrences of uveitis * Presence of active chorioretinal * Presence of retinal vascular lesions * Incidence of ocular infection * Incidence of AEs * Change from baseline in cup-to-disc ratio

    Time frame: Every 6 months over 3 years

  2. Incidence of secondary increase in IOP, secondary increase in IOP requiring surgical intervention, and ocular and non-ocular AEs.

    Mandatory safety measures including IOP checks will be performed every 3 months. The following secondary safety endpoints will be assessed at 6 months, 12 months or 36 months * Incidence of secondary increase in IOP * Incidence of secondary increase in IOP requiring surgical intervention * Incidence of ocular and non-ocular AEs.

    Time frame: 3, 6, 12, and 36 months.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 6, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
