This study will collect blood samples from patients with non-infectious eye inflammatory diseases a spectrum of eye disorders that can produce sight-threatening vision loss. The blood will be analyzed for substances that may provide a better understanding of the nature of these disorders, possibly leading to improved treatments. Treatment is not offered under this protocol. Patients 6 years of age and older with an eye inflammatory disease, including non-infectious uveitis, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, non-infectious scleritis, episcleritis, Stevens Johnson syndrome, Moorens ulcer, peripheral ulcerative keratitis and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, may be eligible for this study. Patients may or may not currently be participating in a treatment trial. Participants will have blood drawn through a needle in an arm vein. More samples may be collected if patients enrolled in another study are scheduled for additional visits. No more than 4 teaspoonfuls of blood will be collected at any one time.
This small, preliminary study will examine whether multiple infusions of infliximab (Remicade® (Registered Trademark)) can control inflammation in patients with active scleritis. The sclera is the tough white outer coat enclosing the eyeball. Infliximab is a combination of part human and part mouse proteins that block a natural body protein called tumor necrosis factor (TNF). TNF appears to be involved in scleritis, and stopping its action may help reduce the inflammation in the disease. The drug has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Patients 18 years of age or older with active non-infectious scleritis may be eligible for this study. Participants will undergo the following tests and procedures: * Medical history and physical examination. * Eye examination, including a vision test and examination of the retina (back part of the eye) and of the sclera and its blood vessels. * Questionnaire about vision and daily activities. * Tuberculin skin test. * Pregnancy test: Women who can have children are tested for pregnancy at study weeks 0, 14, 30, 38, and 46. * Infliximab treatment: Infliximab is infused over a 2-hour period through a needle in a vein, usually in the arm. The patient's vital signs are checked before the patient begins each infusion starts and again before leaving the clinic. After the first two infusions, if the disease remains quiet, other scleritis medications will be attempted to be reduced to half the original dose over 8 to 12 weeks and possibly to nothing if the patient continues to do well. Patients receive a maximum of 9 infusions over a 30-week period. * Blood draws: About 4 tablespoons of blood are drawn at each visit to test for the number and types of cells in the blood and to check for signs of inflammation and side effects of the study medicine. Patients are seen in the NEI clinic for infusions and to check the response to therapy. This includes 13 clinic visits over 46 weeks, as follows: every 2 weeks for the first 2 weeks, every 4 weeks thereafter for a total of 30 weeks for infusions, and then every 4 weeks for 16 additional weeks. Patients may stop therapy if their scleritis is not controlled 10 weeks into the study period; if they develop a flare of inflammation after initial control of the active scleritis; if their vision loss is too large; or if their medications increase or other medicines are added to control the scleritis. Patients whose vision decreases minimally, stays the same, or improves may remain in the study.
This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of a monoclonal antibody called daclizumab in treating uveitis, an eye inflammation. Monoclonal antibodies are genetically engineered proteins made in large quantities and directed against a specific target in the body. Daclizumab is designed to prevent a specific chemical interaction needed for immune cells called lymphocytes to produce inflammation. In an ongoing NIH study of 10 adults with uveitis, 8 patients were able to decrease corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive medicines they were taking while receiving daclizumab for months or even years. The study will be conducted at three different sites, including the NIH Clinical Center. Patients 6 years of age and older with non-infectious uveitis of at least 3 months' duration who require treatment with immune suppressing medicines, such as prednisone, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, azathioprine, methotrexate, or others, may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history and physical examination, blood tests, complete eye examination, and a questionnaire about the patient's vision and daily activities. Participants will come to the study center every 2 weeks for treatment and evaluation. Daclizumab treatments are given by injection under the skin, usually in the arm. Patients will receive a maximum of 28 treatments over a 1-year period. Treatment may be extended for a few months while other participants reach their 1-year mark. The first two induction treatments are at a higher dose (2 mg/kg of body weight) than the maintenance dose of 1 mg/kg. After the first daclizumab treatment, other uveitis medications will be tapered, one at a time. If the disease remains quiet, these drugs may eventually be stopped completely. For the first 6 months, all patients will receive daclizumab injections and evaluations every 2 weeks. After that, if other medications have been reduced and vision has remained stable, treatments and evaluations may be spread out to every 3 or 4 weeks. Over time, fewer tests may be required during the biweekly examinations if the patient is doing well, but nearly all the examinations done at screening will be repeated at 3-month intervals. If inflammation or vision loss occurs during drug tapering, appropriate treatment will be administered. If the vision loss is too great, the patient will be treated with steroids or other medicines and taken off the study. Additional, special tests done at selected study centers include the following: * Fluorescein angiography: This test is done to check for abnormalities of eye blood vessels. A yellow dye is injected into an arm vein and travels to the blood vessels in the eyes. Pictures of the retina are taken with a special camera that flashes a blue light into the eye. The pictures show if any dye has leaked from the vessels into the retina, indicating possible abnormalities. * Pelvic ultrasound and urine test: These tests are done at enrollment and after 1 year to check the kidneys, lymph nodes, and pelvic area. * Blood tests: Additional blood tests are done at enrollment and every 3 to 6 months for laboratory and immunology study.
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).
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
