Registered outcomes17

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Best-corrected Visual Acuity (Change in the Numbers of Letters Read From a Standard ETDRS Eye Chart) From Baseline to 24 Months in Eyes With Uveitis24 months
Best-corrected visual acuity was measured as the number of letters read from standard logarithmic visual acuity charts by study-certified examiners who were masked to treatment. Visual acuity was measured at all study visits. The primary outcome was eye-specific change in visual acuity from baseline to 2-year follow-up. Positive change values indicate improved vision while negative change values indicate vision has gotten worse. A change of 7.5 letters is considered clinically meaningful.
SecondaryMacular Edema24 monthscenter point macular thickness \>= 240 micrometers assessed on OCT (Stratus OCT-3 \[Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA\]) as graded by Central Reading Center
SecondaryUveitis Activity24 monthsUveitis activity was determined by clinician assessment at each study visit. The study ophthalmologist evaluated each eye as active, inactive/never had uveitis or cannot assess.
SecondaryIntraocular Pressure - Incident IOP Greater Than or Equal to 30 mm Hg24 months
SecondaryIntraocular Pressure - Incident IOP Greater Than or Equal to 24 mm Hg24 months
SecondaryIntraocular Pressure - Incident IOP Elevation >= 10 mmHg Above Baseline24 months
SecondaryGlaucoma - Incident24 monthsGlaucoma was diagnosed by a glaucoma specialist through review of visual fields, clinical data, and fundus images.
Secondary
Intraocular Pressure (IOP) - Incident Use of IOP-lowering Medical Therapy (Percentage of Eyes With Uveitis That Were Not Being Treated With IOP-lowering Medical Therapy at Baseline and Underwent IOP Lowering Therapy During the 24 Month Follow-up.
24 monthsThe percentage of subjects who used topical or systemic treatment for elevated IOP at any time during the 2 year follow-up and were not on IOP-lowering therapy at baseline is reported.
SecondaryIntraocular Pressure - IOP-lowering Surgery24 months
SecondaryCataract - Incident Cataract24 months
