Progress in the understanding and utilization of biologic response modifiers in the treatment of uveitis

Abstract: Uveitis is the third most common cause of blindness in developed countries. Considering the systemic and local complications of long-term corticosteroid therapy and the intolerance due to side effects and ineffectiveness of conventional chemotherapy, use of biologic response modifiers is a reasonable alternative in the treatment of non-infectious uveitis and persistent uveitic macular edema. The majority of the evidence presented here comes from open uncontrolled analyses. Based on these studies, tumor necrosi… Show more

“…In addition, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen and celecoxib can cause gastrointestinal bleeding2425. Biologics are another class of therapies that target specific cytokines or cytokine receptors to inhibit the inflammatory response262728. However, because these are relatively new treatments for uveitis it is not yet known if these will result in sustained remission of uveitis.…”

“…Many uveitis cases are associated with particular cytokines (14). The role of the tumor necrosis factor-α blocker infliximab has been explored in many uveitis entities in which conventional steroid and immunosuppressive therapy has failed and it was found to be a valuable option for the treatment of refractory uveitis (13, 18). Infliximab has been found to be an effective agent in the treatment of Behçet disease and ankylosing spondylitis in earlier studies (19, 20).…”

“…Fallberichte haben die Wirksamkeit von Rituximab bei Behçet-, Lupus-erythematodes-sowie JIA-assoziierter Uveitis nachgewiesen [40]. In der bis dato einzigen prospektiven randomisierten Studie zum Einsatz von Rituximab bei Uveitis wurde das Präparat in Kombination mit Methotrexat und Prednisolon verabreicht bei 10 Patienten mit therapierefraktärer retinaler Vaskulitis und Makulaödem bei Morbus Behçet [41].…”

“…IL-17 ist ein Schlüsselzytokin im Tiermodell der EAU, und eine Rolle für IL-17 im Rahmen verschiedener autoimmunologischer Erkrankungen ist belegt. Trotz berichteter positiver Resultate für den humanisierten Anti-IL-17A-Antikörper Secukinumab (Cosentyx ® ) in der Behandlung von Patienten mit posteriorer Uveitis, konnte der primäre Endpunkt in keiner der 3 Phase-III-Studien erreicht werden, in deren Rahmen eine Dosierung von maximal 300 mg subkutan (sc) in 2-wöchentlichen Abständen gegeben wurde [40,49]. Eine nachfolgend durchgeführte Phase-II-Studie legte jedoch nahe, dass eine höher dosierte intravenöse (iv) Gabe mit signifikant höheren Ansprechraten (61,5 % bei einer Dosis von 10 mg/kg iv bzw.…”
