Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project is designed to test the hypothesis that adalimumab is clinically useful for patients with acuta Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Approval of the study was obtained from the hospital's ethical committee. The study design and methodology followed the tenets of Declaration of Helsinki. All patients were provided with written informed consent and received a thorough explanation of the use of adalimumab, its potential risks and benefits. This is a monocenter, cohort, observational study evaluating patients with acute VKH divided into two groups: adalimumab therapy group and traditional therapy group.

For adalimumab therapy group, an initial dose of 80 mg adalimumab was administered subcutaneously followed by a maintenance dose of 40 mg every two weeks, and data will be collected prospectively with regard to ophthalmologic outcomes. For the traditional therapy group, patients were treated with glucocorticoids alone or glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressants. Study participants will be followed for up to one year to determine efficacy and side effects.

According to best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior chamber and vitreous inflammation, optical coherence tomography (OCT), change in corticosteroid dose during the study period and so on. The investigators evaluate the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of adalimumab in treatment of acute VKH.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

adalimumab group

The initial dose of glucocorticoid is 1 mg/kg/day, and gradually stops within 90-180 days. Adalimumab is administered subcutaneously at an initial loading dose of 80 mg, followed by a 40 mg dose every other week (q2w) starting from the second week. Therapy will be continued 6 months after the disappearance of active ocular inflammation. Then, injection will extend for 3 days until withdrawal after 40 days apart.

Adalimumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Adalimumab is administered subcutaneously at an initial loading dose of 80 mg, followed by a 40 mg dose every other week (q2w) starting from the second week. Therapy will be continued 6 months after the disappearance of active ocular inflammation. Then, injection will extend for 3 days until withdrawal after 40 days apart.

traditional therapy group

Acute VKH patients treatment with only glucocorticosteroid or glucocorticosteroid combined with immunosuppressive agents.
