Uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the uvea, one of the highly vascularized fundamental structures of the eye. It is a rare condition in children, with an incidence in the pediatric population ranging from 2% to 14% of all uveitis cases. The diagnosis and management of patients with uveitis rely on a multidisciplinary approach involving an ophthalmologist, a rheumatologist, and an infectious disease specialist to establish the correct diagnosis and assess the involvement of other organs. In Italy, there is no national or regional registry for non-infectious chronic uveitis as per the Prime Ministerial Decree (DPCM) of March 3, 2017 (Identification of surveillance systems and registries for mortality, tumors, and other diseases). However, many clinical centers adopt data recording systems to evaluate the quality of care and to study diseases and outcomes. The Universitary Hospital Meyer Institute Research Hospital (IRCCS) is a national referral center for managing these pediatric cases of non-infectious chronic uveitis, estimated to constitute 95% of all pediatric uveitis cases
Uveitis
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.

Uveitis
Background: Uveitis refers to a large group of inflammatory diseases in the eye. The inflammation can be caused by many factors, such as trauma, medicine, or infection. It can also be caused by systemic diseases. Uveitis and ocular inflammation can cause vision loss. Both children and adults can have uveitis. Standard treatment is to suppress the immune system. But this can result in high costs as well as bad side effects. Researchers want to look at data from NEI studies. They want to learn more about how uveitis progresses and responds to treatment. Objective: To find biomarkers to better understand uveitic diseases, assess disease severity, and create outcome measures of response to treatment and disease activity. Eligibility: People ages 4 and older from certain NEI studies who have uveitis or ocular inflammation, and healthy volunteers Design: Data will be taken from NEI studies from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2025. Data will only be collected for participants who agreed to let their data be used for future research. No new tests will be done on any samples. Laboratory results and images will be used. Medical chart data, such as symptoms, medicine history, and treatment course, will be used. Personal data, such as name, medical record number, and date of birth, will be used. COVID-19 has been reported to cause eye changes. Exam findings of participants who had COVID-19 will be reviewed as well. Machine learning will be used to study the data. This study will take place at the NIH Clinical Center. All data will be securely stored.
Uveitis, Ocular Inflammation
We will prospectively observe patients with uveitis who are either active or were recently active in the previous 6 months and are treated with the i-FA implant. All of the patients will have standard clinical exams at baseline and image quantification of their inflammation using OCT, OCTA and UWFFA (if needed). At baseline, ETDRS vision will be measured. Patients will be followed for 12 months months. During follow-up repeat imaging will be performed along with standard examinations, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity measurements. At the final visit, all tests will be repeated. Data collected will be analyzed using statistical software package. Correlations between changes in imaging quantification of inflammation scores and changes in visual acuity, clinical grades of inflammation, and contract sensitivity will be calculated.
Uveitis
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-tumor necrosis(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.
Uveitis
The proposed study is a stratified, block-randomized, double-masked, controlled trial to determine the feasibility of discontinuing adalimumab treatment in patients with quiescent uveitis associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or chronic anterior uveitis (CAU).

Uveitis
Background: Uveitis is an inflammation of the eye that can cause vision loss. It is treated with medications and sometimes surgery. However, in many people, treatment does not always prevent loss of vision. A new medication, ustekinumab, reduces inflammation in patients with other inflammatory diseases. Therefore, it might be helpful in treatment of uveitis. Objective: To see if ustekinumab is safe and can help people with uveitis. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with uveitis Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical and eye disease history Physical exam Eye exam: The pupil is dilated with eye drops. A machine scans the back of the eye. Pictures are taken of the inside of the eye. Blood and urine tests Tuberculosis test Participants will have 6 clinic visits over 28 weeks. Visits lasts 2-3 hours and include: * Medical and eye disease history * Physical and eye exams * Blood and urine tests * Fluorescein angiography: A needle guides a thin plastic tube into an arm vein. A dye is injected into the tube. The dye travels through the veins up to the blood vessels in the eyes. A camera takes pictures of the dye as it flows through the blood vessels in the eyes. * Cohort 1 - Ustekinumab injections at Weeks 0, 4, and 8: The injection is under the skin of the upper arm, leg, or abdomen. Participants will have their uveitis monitored and receive standard uveitis care during the study. * Cohort 2 - Ustekinumab injections via intravenous (IV) injection at first visit, followed by a single 90 mg injection of ustekinumab under the skin of the upper arm, leg or abdomen. For the IV injection a needle will be used to guide a thin plastic tube (catheter) into one of the arm veins. The needle will be removed, leaving only the catheter in the vein.
Uveitis
Uveitis is an acute or chronic inflammatory condition of unknown etiology. Although uveitis often responds adequately to topical corticosteroids, there are many patients for which this treatment is either inadequate or not tolerated. A patient with inadequate response to treatment would manifest uveitis activity by slit lamp examination determination of anterior chamber cellularity. Lack of tolerance of therapy commonly manifests as ocular hypertension (greater than 21 mmHg measured by tonometry)complicating chronic topical corticosteroid administration, leading to glaucoma and permanent visual loss. Moreover, systemic corticosteroids may be required at a dose unsafe for chronic administration. In these situations, an immunosuppressive medication is often added as a "steroid-sparing" agent. If and when there is clinical response to the added immunosuppressive, the oral and/or topical corticosteroid dose can be reduced or eliminated to avoid toxicity. There are several reasons for believing that Acthar might be beneficial in the treatment of uveitis patients. In addition to increasing adrenal production or cortisol, Acthar has another important mechanisms of action mediated by its binding of melanocortin receptors. Melanocortin down-regulates activity of B and T lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages. In animal studies, melanocortin peptides down-regulate T helper cells, up-regulate T Regulatory cells, and decrease B lymphocyte production of B Lymphocyte Stimulator. In macrophages, there is down-regulation of IL-1, IL-2, INF gamma, TNF alpha, nitric oxide and adhesion molecules. In other cells, in addition to IL-10 upregulation (monocytes), there is down-regulation of VACM and ECAM (endothelial cells), prostaglandins (fibroblasts) and MCP-1 and RANTES (renal tubules).CNS mediation of systemic inflammation may also be down-regulated by melanocortin receptor binding by Acthar.
Uveitis
Uveitis represents a heterogeneous group of diseases that results from ocular inflammatory reaction involving ocular tissue and vasculature. The inflammation usually causes pain, redness, photophobia and blurred vision. This inflammation, is typically treated with regional or systemic therapy. The regional therapy typically consists of topical corticosteroids or periocular or regional corticosteroids. Regional therapy can lead to a steroid response glaucoma, which is increased intraocular pressure.This pilot study aims to evaluate the possible effectiveness of H.P. Acthar in patients with active ocular inflammatory disease, and currently on treatment for glaucoma or have a history of glaucoma.
