简要总结

In the First-line Antimetabolites as Steroid-sparing Treatment (FAST) Uveitis Trial, the investigators propose to establish which immunosuppressive therapy, methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil, is more effective as a first-line, corticosteroid-sparing agent for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis in a block-randomized, observer-masked, comparative effectiveness trial.

详细描述

This is a randomized comparative effectiveness trial to determine which treatment, methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil, is more effective as first-line corticosteroid-sparing treatment for patients with non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis requiring corticosteroid-sparing therapy. The primary outcome is treatment success assessed at the 6 month visit (Phase 1, 0-6 months). If patients are a treatment success, they continue on the medication for another 6 months (Phase 1, 6-12 months). Patients who are a treatment failure can crossover to the other medication (Phase 2, 0-6 months).

入选标准

  • All the following criteria must be met at enrollment:
  • Historical non-infectious intermediate, anterior and intermediate, posterior or panuveitis in at least one eye
  • Active inflammation within the last 180 days, defined by the presence of any of the following (in at least one eye) according to Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) criteria:
  • ≥ 2+ anterior chamber cells
  • ≥ 2+ vitreous haze
  • active retinal or choroidal lesions
  • Active inflammation at enrollment, defined by the presence of any of the following (in at least one eye) according to SUN criteria:
  • ≥1+ anterior chamber cells and/or
  • ≥1+ vitreous haze and/or
  • active retinal/choroidal lesions
  • At least one of the following criteria must be met before or at enrollment:
  • Active inflammation after 4 weeks of high-dose (1mg/kg prednisone equivalent) corticosteroid treatment or 4 weeks following a regional corticosteroid injection
  • Treatment with oral corticosteroids resulting in a reduction of inflammation, followed by an increase in inflammation (of at least 1 grade in anterior chamber cells or vitreous haze or a change of non-active to active lesions) when corticosteroid is tapered, in the 180 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Active inflammation after long-acting corticosteroid injection 4 weeks to 180 days prior to enrollment
  • Active inflammation after treatment with >10mg/day oral prednisone for at least the past 90 days prior to enrollment
  • Known chronic condition necessitating corticosteroid-sparing immunosuppressive treatment: Behcet's disease with posterior segment involvement, multifocal choroiditis with panuveitis, serpiginous choroidopathy, birdshot retinochoroidopathy, diffuse retinal vasculitis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada with bullous serous retinal detachments and/or choroidal detachments, sympathetic ophthalmia. No prior therapy required for these patients
  • Willingness to start corticosteroid treatment at 1mg/kg or 60mg a day of prednisone, whichever is less
  • Willingness to limit alcohol consumption
  • Willingness to use an acceptable method of contraception during the study period (i.e. pharmacologic medications, devices, barrier methods) or abstinence.

排除标准

  • Any of the following
  • Any infectious cause of uveitis
  • Prior immunosuppressive therapy other than corticosteroids in the past 12 months
  • Prior intolerability or safety issues with methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil
  • Prior failure to control ocular or other inflammation using methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil
  • Prior biologic therapy at any time
  • Media opacity (such as cataract and/or corneal scar) and/or extensive posterior synechiae such that examination of the posterior segment is not possible in both eyes
  • Chronic hypotony (IOP < 5 mm Hg for > 3 months) in both eyes
  • Periocular or intravitreal corticosteroid injection in the past 4 weeks
  • Fluocinolone acetonide implant in either eye in < 3 years
  • Intraocular surgery in < 30 days, or planning on getting surgery within the next 6 months
  • Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) of hand motions or worse in better eye
  • < 16 years of age at enrollment
  • Planning to conceive during the study period, pregnant or breast-feeding (blood or urine pregnancy test for all females, excluding those who are post-menopausal is mandatory)*
  • Any history of cancer (If a patient has a history of non-melanoma skin cancer they can still be considered for inclusion in this study, provided it is not currently active).
  • Systemic autoimmune disease anticipated to dictate treatment course
  • Abnormal Complete blood count (≤ 2,500 white blood cells and/or ≤ 75,000 platelets and/or ≤9 hemoglobin) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment*
  • Abnormal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 2 times the upper limit of normal for the lab and/or creatinine ≥ 1.5 within 4 weeks prior to enrollment*
  • Evidence of active tuberculosis, HIV infection, syphilis, or hepatitis B or C (patients must have a tuberculin skin test, or interferon-gamma release assay, a chest radiograph, Rapid plasma reagin / Venereal disease research laboratory test (RPR/VDRL), fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS), or other treponemal tests, Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody tests, and HIV test within 90 days prior to enrollment)**
  • *Testing required within 4 weeks prior to enrollment; **Testing required within 90 days prior to enrollment.
