Inclusion Criteria

Subject is = 18 years of age.

Subject is diagnosed with non-infectious intermediate-, posterior- or pan-uveitis.

Subject must have active disease at the Baseline visit as defined by the presence of at least 1 of the following parameters in at least one eye despite at least 2 weeks of maintenance therapy with oral prednisone at a dose of = 10 mg/day to = 60 mg/day (or oral corticosteroid equivalent):

? Active, inflammatory, chorioretinal and/or inflammatory retinal vascular lesion
? = 2+ anterior chamber cells (Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature [SUN] criteria)
? = 2+ vitreous haze (National Eye Institute [NEI]/SUN criteria)

Subject is on oral prednisone at a dose of = 10 mg/day to = 60 mg/day (or oral corticosteroid equivalent) for at least 2 weeks prior to Screening and remains on the same dose from Screening to Baseline visit.

Subjects who do not have previous, active or latent TB.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 200
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 50

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subject with isolated anterior uveitis.
2. Subject with prior inadequate response to high-dose oral
corticosteroids.
3. Subject with confirmed or suspected infectious uveitis, including but not limited to
infectious uveitis due to TB, cytomegalovirus (CMV), Lyme disease,
toxoplasmosis, Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1) infection,
Whipple's disease, herpes zoster virus (HZV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV).
4. Subject with presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (POHS).
5. Subject with ocular masquerade syndromes, such as ocular lymphoma.
6. Subject with serpiginous choroidopathy.
7. Subject has a contraindication to pupil dilation with mydriatic eyedrops.
8. Subject with corneal or lens opacity that precludes visualization of the fundus or
that likely requires cataract surgery during the duration of the trial.
9. Subject with intraocular pressure of = 25 mmHg and on = 2 glaucoma medications
or evidence of glaucomatous optic nerve injury.
10. Subject with Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) less than 20 letters (ETDRS [Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study]) in at least one eye at the Baseline visit.
11. Subject with intermediate uveitis or panuveitis that has signs of intermediate uveitis (e.g., presence or history of snowbanking or snowballs) and symptoms and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings suggestive of a demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis. All subjects with intermediate uveitis or panuveitis that have signs of intermediate uveitis (e.g., presence or history of snowbanking or snowballs) must have a brain MRI within 90 days prior to the Baseline visit.
12. Subject has previous exposure to anti-TNF therapy or any biologic therapy (except
intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] therapy [See Exclusion
Criterion No. 43]) with a potential therapeutic impact on non infectious uveitis.
13. Subject on more than 1 immunosuppressive therapy (not including corticosteroids)
at Baseline.
14. Subject on concomitant immunosuppressive therapy other than methotrexate, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil or an equivalent drug to mycophenolate mofetil (e.g., mycophenolic acid), azathioprine, or tacrolimus at Baseline.
15. If entering the study on 1 concomitant immunosuppressive therapy, dose has been
increased within the last 28 days prior to Baseline visit or is not within the
following allowable doses at the Baseline visit:
? Methotrexate (MTX) = 25 mg per week
? Cyclosporine = 4 mg/kg per day
? Mycophenolate mofetil = 2 grams per day or an equivalent drug to mycophenolate mofetil (e.g., mycophenolic acid) at an equivalent dose approved by the Medical Monitor.
? Azathioprine = 175 mg per day
?Tacrolimus (oral formulation) = 8 mg per day
16. Subject with prior or current use of chlorambucil.
17. Subject has received Retisert® (glucocorticosteroid implant) within 3 years prior to
the Baseline visit or has had complications r
