OM Trial Summary
This triallooks at whether a drug (DEX) can treat non-infectious eye diseases (intermediate-, posterior- or panuveitis). Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive DEX or oral prednisone to measure outcomes.
Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with non-infectious intermediate, posterior, or panuveitis can join this trial. They must have active uveitic disease but no diabetes-related macular edema, ocular infections, or recent eye surgeries. Participants shouldn't have used corticosteroids or immunomodulatory therapies within the last month and not be pregnant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares Ozurdex (dexamethasone) implants as a single treatment against oral prednisone for uveitis. Conducted in Canada, it randomly assigns participants to either treatment and follows them for up to a year to see how well each therapy clears inflammation and improves vision.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ozurdex may cause increased eye pressure, cataract formation, eye infection risk increase, and possible visual disturbances. Prednisone can lead to mood swings, weight gain, high blood sugar levels among other systemic effects.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects randomized to the experimental group will receive a 0.7mg intravitreal dexamethasone (DEX) implant which will be injected in the vitreous cavity as one of the treatments of interest in this study.
Group II: Prednisone Taper GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects randomized to the comparator group will receive oral prednisone. The initial dose is expected to range between 40 to 60mg of oral prednisone per day, with gradual tapering to the lowest dose that controls inflammation and eventually transitioning to a maintenance dose. Maintenance dose will be gradually lowered as per standard of care if remission is achieved for 6 to 12 months.
