TY - JOUR T1 - Adalimumab treatment in adult patients with refractory non-infectious uveitis TT - Dirençli non-enfeksiyöz üveitli erişkin hastalarda adalimumab tedavisinin etkinliği AU - Esen, Ebru AU - Işık, Püren AU - Sızmaz, Selçuk AU - Demircan, Nihal PY - 2023 DA - July Y2 - 2023 DO - 10.17826/cumj.1224611 JF - Cukurova Medical Journal JO - Cukurova Med J PB - Çukurova Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2602-3032 SP - 457 EP - 462 VL - 48 IS - 2 LA - en AB - Purpose: To assess the efficacy of adalimumab treatment in patients with refractory non-infectious uveitis.Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on patients with chronic non-infectious uveitis treated with adalimumab for longer than 12 months. All patients had active intraocular inflammation and were nonresponsive to other immunosuppressive agents before initiating adalimumab treatment.Results: Twenty-one patients (39 eyes) were treated with adalimumab for a mean duration of 26.2 ± 13.2 months. Eleven patients (52.4%) remained relapse-free during the treatment. In only one patient (4.8%) adalimumab was switched to another drug due to insufficient response. Adalimumab treatment was discontinued in five patients (23.8%) after an attack-free period of at least 18 months.Conclusion: Adalimumab is an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic option for patients with refractory non-infectious uveitis, to achieve and maintain disease quiescence. KW - Adalimumab KW - non-infectious uveitis KW - refractory uveitis N2 - Amaç: Enfeksiyöz olmayan dirençli üveit hastalarında adalimumab tedavisinin etkinliğini değerlendirmek.Gereç ve Yöntem: Kronik non-enfeksiyöz üveit tanısıyla 12 aydan uzun süre adalimumab tedavisi alan hastalar retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Tüm hastalar adalimumab tedavisine başlamadan önce diğer immünosüpresif ajanlara dirençli olup aktif intraoküler inflamasyon bulgularına sahipti.Bulgular: Yirmi bir hasta (39 göz), ortalama 26.2 ± 13.2 ay süreyle adalimumab tedavisi aldı. Tedavi süresince 11 hastada (%52.4) nüks izlenmedi. Sadece bir hastada (%4,8) yetersiz yanıt nedeniyle adalimumab tedavisi başka bir ilaç ile değiştirildi. Beş hastada (%23.8) en az 18 aylık ataksız dönem sonunda adalimumab tedavisi sonlandırıldı.Sonuç: Adalimumab, dirençli enfeksiyöz olmayan üveit hastalarında remisyonu sağlamak ve sürdürmek için etkili ve iyi tolere edilen bir terapötik seçenektir.
