Adalimumab in Uveitis Refractory to Conventional Therapy (ADUR Trial)
TNF alpha Inhibitors have been very effective in treating rheumatologic diseases as well as uveitis. Adalimumab is the first member of a new class of TNF antibody compounds developed to co...
Intravitreal Adalimumab Versus Subcutaneous Adalimumab in Non-infectious Uveitis
The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous (40mg) adalimumab biweekly injections to intravitreal adalimumab (1.5 mg/ 0.03 mL) administration, given...
Adalimumab (Humira) in the Treatment of Refractory Non-infectious Uveitis
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Adalimumab in uveitis.
Direct intravitreal administration of medication is the preferred method of treatment for uveitis and retinal vascular disorders. The eye is a self contained organ relatively isolated from...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Hla-b27 Antigen
Human histocompatibility (HLA) surface antigen encoded by the B locus on chromosome 6. It is strongly associated with acute anterior uveitis (UVEITIS, ANTERIOR); ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS; and REACTIVE ARTHRITIS.
Uveitis, Posterior
Inflammation of the choroid as well as the retina and vitreous body. Some form of visual disturbance is usually present. The most important characteristics of posterior uveitis are vitreous opacities, choroiditis, and chorioretinitis.
Adalimumab
A humanized monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to TNF-ALPHA and blocks its interaction with endogenous TNF RECEPTORS to modulate INFLAMMATION. It is used in the treatment of RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS; PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS; CROHN'S DISEASE and ULCERATIVE COLITIS.
Uveitis, Intermediate
Inflammation of the pars plana, ciliary body, and adjacent structures.
Ocular Hypotension
Abnormally low intraocular pressure often related to chronic inflammation (uveitis).
