A Phase 4 interventional study of fluocinolone acetonide 190 micrograms in Non-infectious Uveitis Affecting the Posterior Segment of the Eye, sponsored by Alimera Sciences. Recruiting at 6 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-08-06.

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:
Participants will:
299 studies on the registry are indexed under Uveitis; 32 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 25 is below the median of 30 across 175 interventional studies indexed under Uveitis.

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.
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.

Drug: fluocinolone 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.
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
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
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
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.
