 Biological: AIN457
 Phase 3

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Multicenter, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Long Term Clinical Use of Treatment With AIN457 in Patients Completing Clinical Trials Investigating AIN457 for the Treatment of Non-infectious Intermediate, Posterior or Panuveitis

Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Proportion of patients achieving the criteria for clinically inactive posterior segment uveitis [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean time to achieve the criteria for clinically inactive posterior segment uveitis [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Proportion of patients experiencing clinically active posterior segment uveitis in patients discontinuing AIN457 treatment [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to recurrence of clinically active posterior segment uveitis after discontinuation of AIN457 treatment [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Time to resolution of a recurrence of clinically active posterior segment uveitis in patients discontinuing AIN457 and treated only with the reinitiation of AIN457 [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
