NCT01789320

Brief Summary

This study is designed to determine the safety and tolerability of a single microinjection of triamcinolone acetonide (TRIESENCE®) into the suprachoroidal space (SCS) of patients who have non-infectious uveitis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    Intraocular pressure is the fluid pressure inside the eye. Intraocular pressure change from baseline at week 8 was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. Tonometry is the method eye care professionals use to determine this pressure. Intraocular pressure is typically measured in millimeters of mercury. A higher pressure inside the eye can be a risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression leading to optic nerve damage. A negative change indicates a reduction in intraocular pressure.

    Change from baseline in IOP at 8 weeks

  • Best Corrected Visual Acuity

    Visual acuity (VA) rates a person's ability to recognize small details with precision. Best corrected VA refers to this measurement when the best vision has be achieved following refraction. Visual acuity change from baseline at 8 and 26 weeks was measured following the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol using standardized lighting and lanes and an ETDRS eye chart. This eye chart comprises rows of letters, with 5 letters per row, and with the letter size from line to line varying logarithmically and is used to estimate visual acuity. Visual acuity is scored with reference to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution or logMAR. Zero logMAR indicates standard vision, positive values indicate poor vision and negative values indicate good vision. A negative changes indicates an improvement in visual acuity.

    Change from baseline at 8 weeks and 26 weeks.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Central Subfield Thickness Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

    Change from baseline at 8 weeks and 26 weeks.

  • Vitreous Haze Grade

    Change from baseline at 8 weeks and 26 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • diagnosis of non-infectious intermediate, posterior or pan-uveitis

You may not qualify if:

  • any ocular trauma within the past 6 months in the study eye
  • any injection of intraocular corticosteroids or steroid implant or the Ozurdex® implant in the 6 months prior to the study treatment, or any prior use of Retisert™ in the study eye
  • any uncontrolled systemic disease that would preclude participation in the study or put the subject at risk due to study treatment or procedures
  • have a known HIV infection or other immunodeficiency disease for which corticosteroid therapy would be contraindicated
  • are monocular
  • have ocular hypertension
  • history of any intraocular surgery in the study eye
  • presence of an anterior staphyloma in the study eye
