Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADR)

    Time frame: Up to Week 52

    ADR is the causal relationship between adalimumab and adverse events.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Visual Functioning Questionnaire (VFQ)-25 score

    Time frame: From Week 0 (baseline) to Week 52

    The National Eye Institute VFQ-25 is an ocular disease-specific survey that measures the influence of visual disability and visual symptoms on generic health domains such as emotional well-being and social functioning, in addition to task-oriented domains related to daily visual functioning. The VFQ-25 consists of a base set of 25 vision-targeted questions plus an additional single-item general health rating question. The overall composite score ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores or increases in score indicate better vision-related functioning.

  2. Change in Visual acuity in each eye

    Time frame: From Week 0 (baseline) to Week 52

    Visual acuity change is assessed.

  3. Change in Anterior Chamber (AC) cell grade (standardization of uveitis nomenclature (SUN) criteria) in each eye

    Time frame: From Week 0 (baseline) to Week 52

    Slit lamp examinations will be conducted at each visit to assess AC cell count. The number of AC cells observed within a 1 mm × 1 mm slit beam will be 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.

  4. Percentage of Overall improvement

    Time frame: Up to Week 52

    This is assessed by physicians.

  5. Change in retinal lesions in each eye

    Time frame: From Week 0 (baseline) to Week 52

    The change in retinal lesion are assessed.

  6. Change in central retinal thickness in each eye

    Time frame: From Week 0 (baseline) to Week 52

    This is assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

  7. Change in Vitreous Haze grade in each eye

    Time frame: From Week 0 (baseline) to Week 52

    Vitreous haze will be measured using dilated indirect ophthalmoscopy (DIO) and assessed by the Investigator according to National Eye Institute (NEI)/ SUN criteria:

    Grade 0: No evident vitreous haze;

    Grade 0.5+: Slight blurring of the optic disc margin because of the haze; normal striations and reflex of the nerve fiber layer cannot be visualized;

    Grade 1+: Permits a better definition of both the optic nerve head and the retinal vessels (compared to higher grades);

    Grade 2+: Permits better visualization of the retinal vessels (compared to higher grades);

    Grade 3+: Permits the observer to see the optic nerve head, but the borders are quite blurry;

    Grade 4+: Optic nerve head is obscured.
