Cataract surgery in patients with CMV anterior uveitis leads to significantly improved corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) in 73% of patients, a study says.
The approval was based on data from the phase 2 IMCgp100-202 trial that assessed Kimmtrak in 378 HLA-A*02:01-positive adults with previously untreated metastatic uveal melanoma.
The finding in the retinal pigment epithelium appears as hypofluorescence visible only on late-phase indocyanine green angiography, investigators report.
The study also shows Behçet’s uveitis is more likely to respond to anti-TNF alpha agents, and relapse less frequently, than other causes of noninfectious uveitis.
Researchers studied the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of uveitis associated with psoriatic arthritis, the differences between patients with and without uveitis, and the association between uveitis and biologic treatment.
Researchers studied the prevalence and 4-year incidence of acute anterior uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriasis, and explore the associations between extraskeletal manifestations and clinical disease outcomes in axial spondyloarthritis.
