Uveitis clinical trials at UCLA
4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people
OCS-01 in Subjects With Uveitis Related and Post Surgical Macular Edema
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The goal of the LEOPARD clinical trial is to investigate a new kind of steroid eye drops, OCS-01. Macular edema is a condition in which there is collection of fluid (edema) in the back of the eye (Macula) and it can lead to severe loss of vision. Among other causes, macular edema can happen because of a disease of the eye called Uveitis, and also after eye surgery. Treatment of macular edema remains a challenge as the condition may persist for several months and may lead to irreversible changes in the eye and poor vision. In the LEOPARD study the investigators wish to see how safe is the study drug (OCS-01) and how well it works, in resolving the fluid collection in the eye in patients with Uveitis or in patients who have had eye surgery. Participants will undergo detailed eye exam, and record their eye and medical history to see what their disease status is and if they can be included in the study based on the study criteria. If included, they will take the study drug OCS-01 in different doses for 24 weeks. During the study period, they will have regular eye exams to ensure their safety and to assess the usefulness of the study drug.

Brepocitinib in Adults With Active, Non-Infectious, Non-Anterior Uveitis
open to eligible people ages 18-75
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of brepocitinib in participants with active, non-anterior (intermediate, posterior, or pan) non-infectious uveitis (NIU).

Adalimumab vs. Conventional Immunosuppression for Uveitis Trial
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitides are chronic, potentially-blinding diseases. Vision-threatening cases require long-term therapy with oral corticosteroids and immunosuppression. Based upon preliminary data, adalimumab, a fully-human, anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody, now US FDA-approved for uveitis treatment, may be a superior corticosteroid-sparing agent than conventional immunosuppressive drugs. The ADVISE Trial is multicenter randomized, parallel-treatment, comparative effectiveness trial comparing adalimumab to conventional (small molecule) immunosuppression for corticosteroid spring in the treatment of non-infectious, intermediate, posterior, and panuveitides.

Pivotal Study of Izokibep in Non-infectious, Intermediate-, Posterior- or Pan-uveitis
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Izokibep is a small protein molecule that acts as a selective, potent inhibitor of interleukin-17A, to which it binds with high affinity. This study investigates izokibep in subjects with active non-infectious, intermediate-, posterior- or pan-uveitis requiring high-dose steroids.
