Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efalizumab to Treat Uveitis (NCT NCT00280826)

NCT ID: NCT00280826

Last Updated: 2011-02-02

Results Overview

Safety outcomes were recorded by observing and tabulating the nature, severity and frequency of systemic toxicities, adverse events and infections throughout the study. Safety assessments were made by the investigators continuously during the study, with a review of the previous visit interval performed at each scheduled visit. Each participant was also encouraged to report any apparent adverse events between scheduled visits and could return for additional evaluations or treatment between scheduled visits if needed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 16 weeks

Population: Analysis was per protocol

Visual acuity was measured using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol. This acuity is measured as letters read on an ETDRS eye chart and the letters read equate to Snellen measurements. For example, if a participant reads between 84 and 88 letters the Snellen measurement is 20/20.
