Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male and female patients with non-infectious intermediate or posterior uveitis or panuveitis in at least one eye, age 18 to 70 years of age inclusive, who are otherwise in good health
* Macular edema with average central retinal thickness ≥ 250 µm
* A vitreous haze score ≥ 1, but ≤ 3 (based on the National Eye Institute grading system)
* Best Corrected Visual Acuity no worse than 20/400 and no better than 20/40
* Daily prednisone dose \< 1 mg/kg

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with choroidal neovascularization.
* Patients with the following forms of uveitis:

1. Serpiginous choroidopathy
2. Acute multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy
3. White dot retino-choroidopathies (e.g., multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) or multifocal choroiditis)
* Macular edema associated with other ocular disease (e.g., diabetic retinopathy)
* Patients who had a prior vitrectomy
* Any eye condition that may affect the evaluation of visual acuity and retinal thickness
* Concurrent use of certain immunosuppressive agents (specific washout periods for different agents are defined in the protocol)
* Use of systemic medications known to be toxic to the lens, retina, or optic nerve (e.g. deferoxamine, chloroquine, and ethambutol) currently or in the past 6 months
