Safety and Efficacy of Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal Implant

December 7, 2011 updated by: Bausch & Lomb Incorporated

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of an Intravitreal Fluocinolone Acetonide Implant in Subjects With Non-Infectious Uveitis Affecting the Posterior Segment of the Eye

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-masked, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implants for the management of subjects with non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye. An additional objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of two doses of fluocinolone acetonide.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Recurrence of uveitis before and after implantation. Postimplantation recurrences were evaluated using protocol-defined criteria based upon changes in VA, vitreous haze, and the presence of cells in the anterior chamber of the eye.
Time Frame: 1 year pre-implantation; 3 years post-implantation
1 year pre-implantation; 3 years post-implantation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Between-dose group and within-subject comparisons (Study to Fellow eye) for uveitis recurrence; time to first recurrence; need for adjunctive uveitis treatment; reduction in the area of cystoid macular edema; results of quality of life surveys.
Time Frame: 1 year pre-implantation; 3 years post-implantation
1 year pre-implantation; 3 years post-implantation
