Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ustekinumab (STELARA) for the Treatment of Active Sight-Threatening Uveitis (STAR Study) (NCT NCT02911116)

NCT ID: NCT02911116

Last Updated: 2021-03-26

Results Overview

The primary outcome is the number of participants in each cohort who experience a treatment response by Week 16. Treatment response is defined as experiencing all of the following for both/eligible eyes: no active inflammatory chorioretinal lesion and/or absent or decreased retinal vascular leakage; ≤ 0.5+ anterior chamber (AC) cells; ≤ 0.5+ vitreous haze.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 16

Population: All enrolled participants who received at least one dose of Ustekinumab and completed the Week 16 visit. One participant in each cohort is excluded from the analysis as a result of discontinuing the study prior to Week 16.

The primary outcome is the number of participants in each cohort who experience a treatment response by Week 16. Treatment response is defined as experiencing all of the following for both/eligible eyes: no active inflammatory chorioretinal lesion and/or absent or decreased retinal vascular leakage; ≤ 0.5+ anterior chamber (AC) cells; ≤ 0.5+ vitreous haze.
