presence of retinal infiltrates or vasculitis or hemorrhages

documented Greater than210 ETDRS letter or 2 line Snellen decrease in visual acuity attributed to ocular inflammation secondary to the recurrent exacerbation of Behçets disease.

?Requirement for either of the following immunosuppressive therapies for at least 3 of the past 6 months for the treatment of or to prevent an exacerbation of ocular inflammation related to Behçets disease:

Prednisone or equivalent Greater than210 mg daily

The need for at least Greater than21 periocular injection or Greater than21 intravitreal corticosteroid injection in the study eye within the past 6 months (the last injection must have not been given within 6 weeks of screening)
