Who cannot take part

  • Has planned ocular surgery during the double-masked treatment period
  • Has had recent ocular surgery or ocular laser procedure that could affect study assessments
  • Has had major surgery within 3 months prior to Screening or has major surgery planned during the study
  • Has demonstrated intolerance to or prior inadequate response to high-dose oral corticosteroids for the study indication
  • Has active ocular disease that may confound assessment or is not adequately controlled
  • Has any condition preventing evaluation of both eyes for eligibility or efficacy assessments
  • Has any other immune-mediated inflammatory condition that is not well controlled and may require prohibited therapy
  • Has active infection
  • Has a recent history of malignancy that is not considered adequately resolved
  • Has had a recent diagnostic evaluation for malignancy where malignancy cannot be reasonably excluded
  • Has known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the study drug and other medications, dyes
  • The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
  • Has isolated anterior uveitis
  • Has macular edema as the only sign of intermediate, posterior, or panuveitis

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This trial will help researchers learn if tulisokibart, the trial medicine, can treat non-infectious intermediate, posterior, or panuveitis (NIIPPU) so that steroids can be given for a shorter period of time. In this trial, researchers will look at different doses (amounts) of tulisokibart.

Read full original descriptionShow less

The goal of this trial is to learn if tulisokibart works better than placebo to increase the length of time until NIIPPU gets worse. A placebo looks like the trial medicine but has no medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of the trial medicine.

The 3 groups in the trial

  • Tulisokibart Low DoseTreatment being tested

    Participants receive background therapy of prednisone plus a high dose of tulisokibart.

    Treatment: Tulisokibart and Background prednisone therapy

  • Tulisokibart High DoseTreatment being tested

    Participants receive background therapy of prednisone plus a low dose of tulisokibart.

    Treatment: Tulisokibart and Background prednisone therapy

  • PlaceboPlacebo, for comparison

    Participants receive background therapy of prednisone plus placebo to tulisokibart.

    Treatment: Placebo and Background prednisone therapy
