ADVISE: Uveitis Treatment Study

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.

In order to participate you must meet the following criteria:

• Are 13 years of age or older.
• Weigh 30 kg (66 lbs) or more.
• Have active or recently active (≤ 60 days) non-infectious intermediate, posterior or panuveitis.
• Prednisone indication meets one of the following:
  • Active uveitis requiring one of the following i. Initiation of prednisone at dose greater than 7.5 mg/day ii. Increasing prednisone dose to greater than 7.5 mg/day iii. Currently receiving dose greater than 7.5 mg/day.
  • Inactive uveitis on current dose greater 7.5 mg/day.
