This is a Phase III study to assess the efficacy and safety of DE-109 440 µg every 2 months in subjects with active, non-infectious uveitis of the posterior segment of the eye (NIU-PS).
There is a 6-month, single-arm, open-label period after completion of the 6-month double- masked, controlled period allows the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of DE-109 440 µg every 2 months for longer duration than appropriate for a placebo or sham control.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Test Arm: DE-109 Injectable Solution
Intravitreal injection of DE-109 440 µg in the study eye(s) every 2 months (Day 1, Month 2, and Month 4) (approximately 80 subjects).
|
Drug: DE-109 Intravitreal Injections
440 ug of DE-109 Injectable Solution |
Sham Comparator: Control Arm: Sham Procedure
Sham procedure administered to the study eye(s) every 2 months (Day 1, Month 2, and Month 4) (approximately 80 subjects). The sham procedure mimics an intravitreal injection without penetrating the eye.

Other: Sham Procedure
The sham procedure mimics an intravitreal injection without penetrating the eye. |
Dummy Arm: DE-109 Injectable Solution
Dummy Arm: Intravitreal injection of DE-109 at an undisclosed, fixed dose (within the range of 44 µg to 880 µg) in the study eye(s) every 2 months (Day 1, Month 2, and Month 4) (approximately 40 subjects). This study arm (which has the same route of administration and frequency as the test arm).
