Targeting Immunosuppressive Treatment for Non-infectious Uveitis Using Aqueous Humor Cytokine Profiles

This multicenter, prospective, interventional, non-pharmacological study aims to investigate whether the intraocular cytokine profile is associated with the therapeutic response to immunosuppressive drugs in patients with non-infectious uveitis (NIU). Approximately 220 patients with NIU in at least one eye, showing inadequate response to topical or systemic corticosteroids at baseline and presenting with signs of anterior segment inflammation, will be enrolled to enhance sensitivity to laboratory assays. Aqueous humor and blood samples will be collected at baseline. Cytokine concentrations of 14 different cytokines will be measured using multiplex immunoassay techniques. Participants will receive immunosuppressive treatment based on standard clinical practice.
