Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term efficacy and safety of adalimumab participants with non-infectious intermediate-, posterior- or pan-uveitis.
Detailed Description
This study was initially planned to run for 78 weeks but was extended for ethical reasons, to avoid leaving participants untreated who had responded well to adalimumab treatment, so that participants were allowed to remain in the study until regulatory and/or reimbursement approval for the treatment of uveitis in adults was obtained for their respective countries. Data were collected through Week 366 (maximum), but because of decreasing sample size that became too small toward the end of the study to allow for meaningful conclusion, data cut off for efficacy analyses (intent to treat \[ITT\] population) occurred at Week 246, as less than 10% of participants in the ITT set had visits beyond this timepoint.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Respiratory Rate (Sitting): Mean Change (Respirations Per Minute) From Baseline To Final Visit
Time Frame: Baseline to Final Visit (Up to 366 weeks)
Respiratory rate (respirations per minute) was measured while the participant was sitting.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: Baseline to Final Visit (up to 366 weeks)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event with an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug and up to 70 days after the last dose. See the Adverse Event section for details.
Hematology: Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Values
Time Frame: Baseline to Final Visit (Up to 366 weeks)
PCS laboratory values were defined as Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.0 ≥ Grade 3. Abbreviations used include g=grams; L=liters.
Chemistry: Number of Participants With PCS Values
Time Frame: Baseline to Final Visit (Up to 366 weeks)
PCS laboratory values were defined as Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.0 ≥ Grade 3. Abbreviations include ALT/SGPT=alanine aminotransferase/serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase; AST/SGOT=aspartate aminotransferase/serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase; g/L=grams/liter; mmol/L=millimoles/liter; ULN=upper limit of normal.
Pulse (Sitting): Mean Change (Beats Per Minute) From Baseline To Final Visit

Heart rate (beats per minute) was measured while the participant was sitting.
Temperature (Sitting): Mean Change (Centigrade) From Baseline To Final Visit
Time Frame: Baseline to Final Visit (Up to 366 weeks)
Temperature was measured while the participant was sitting.
