A Study to Assess Change in Disease Activity and Adverse Events of Adalimumab in Chinese Participants Requiring High Dose Corticosteroids for Active Non-Infectious Intermediate, Posterior, or Pan-Uveitis

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-10-10

Summary

Non-infectious intermediate-, posterior- and pan-uveitis (NIIPPU) are sight threatening diseases with a high patient burden and negative impact on quality of life. Corticosteroids remain the mainstay of first-line treatment for NIIPPU in China despite serious side effects associated with long-term and high-dose corticosteroid use. Adalimumab is used to treat NIIPPU in adults who have had inadequate response to corticosteroids, or who need corticosteroid-sparing, or in whom corticosteroid treatment is inappropriate. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and effectiveness of adalimumab in Chinese participants requiring high dose corticosteroids with NIIPPU.

Adalimumab is a conditionally approved drug in China used to treat participants with NIIPPU. All participants will receive the same treatment. Approximately 87 adult participants will be enrolled at approximately 15 sites in China.

Participants will receive one subcutaneous loading dose of adalimumab at baseline followed a week later by a lower dose of adalimumab every other week for up to 30 weeks.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
