Summary

This trial will test a new, long-term treatment for uveitis, an inflammation of the eye. The goal is to see if the implant is safe and effective for patients who have responded to steroid therapy in the past.

Who is the study for?
Adults at least 18 years old with chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the back of the eye, who've seen improvement with steroid treatments. They should have macular edema and a certain level of vision clarity. Excluded are those with high eye pressure on multiple medications, recent eye surgeries or infections, known allergies to YUTIQ ingredients, certain systemic conditions requiring steroids or immunosuppressants, pregnant women, and other specific ocular conditions.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing YUTIQ® (Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal Implant) for its effectiveness in controlling inflammation in the back part of the eye due to uveitis that has previously responded to steroids. The implant's safety profile will also be assessed.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include increased eye pressure which can lead to glaucoma, cataract formation or worsening if already present; possible risk of infection from the injection procedure; and less commonly retinal detachment.
