Efficacy and Tolerance of Baricitinib, a JAK Inhibitor, in the Treatment of Refractory Non-infectious Non-anterior Uveitis (JAKUVEITE)

June 5, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Rouen
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Baricitinib, a JAK1 and 2 inhibitor, in the management of non-infectious non-anterior uveitis refractory to at least one line of biotherapy (anti-TNF alpha, tocilizumab) after 6 months of treatment

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with diagnosis of non-anterior non-infectious uveitis, refractory to at least one line of biotherapy (anti-TNF alpha, tocilizumab)
  • Need to stop biotherapy (anti-TNF alpha or tocilizumab) and conventional immunosuppressive drugs (mycofenolate mofetil, methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclosporine, interferon alpha 2a) for at least 10 days prior to the inclusion date

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Isolated anterior uveitis. 2. Infectious uveitis. 3. Severe uveitis threatening the visual prognosis and requiring emergency treatment with intravenous corticosteroids.

    4. Initial visual acuity > 1.3 LogMAR in at least one eye. 5. Corneal or lens opacity that prevents fundus visualization or may require cataract surgery during the study.

    7. Contraindication to mydriasis. 8. Refractory glaucoma in either eye. 9. Monophthalmic patient. 10. Previous treatment with JAK inhibitors. 11. Intraocular corticosteroid injection (subconjunctival or laterobulbar) within 1 month prior to inclusion or intravitreal corticosteroid implant within 3 months prior to inclusion.

    12. Need for treatment with a biotherapy (anti-IL6, anti-IL6 receptor, anti-IL1, anti-IL12/IL23 anti-IL17, anti-BAFF) for extra-ocular involvement, during the entire study period.

    13. Treatment with OAT3 inhibitors with high inhibitory potential such as probenecid, leflunomide, teriflunomide 14. 14. Vaccination with a live or live attenuated vaccine within 15 days prior to inclusion 15.
