Abstract

Purpose: To compare the relapse rate of sight-threatening noninfectious uveitis (NIU) in patients treated with infliximab (IFX) or adalimumab (ADA).Design: Observational retrospective multicenter study.Methods: A total of 330 patients (median age, 36 years; interquartile range, 27-54), 45.2% men) with sight-threatening NIU (ie, retinal vasculitis and/or macular edema) treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α agents (IFX intravenously at 5 mg/kg at weeks 0, 2, 6, and every 4 to 6 weeks or ADA subcutaneously at 80 mg, then 40 mg every 2 weeks). Data were obtained retrospectively from patients' medical records. Main outcome measures were relapse rate, complete response of NIU, corticosteroid sparing effect, and safety.Results: Main etiologies of uveitis included Behçet disease (27%), idiopathic juvenile arthritis (5.8%), and sarcoidosis (5.5%). The estimated relapse rate at 6 months after introduction of biological agents was 13% (95% CI = 0.009-0.16). IFX was associated with less relapse risk than ADA (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.52, 95% CI = 0.36- 0.77, P = .001). ADA and IFX were comparable in terms of complete response rate of NIU as well as corticosteroid-sparing effect. Behçet disease was associated with higher odds of complete response (HR = 2.04, 95% CI = 1.16 -3.60, P = .01] and lower relapse rate (HR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.33-0.85, P = .009) than other causes of NIU with anti-TNF-α agents.Conclusions: In sight-threatening NIU, IFX seems to be associated with a lower relapse rate than ADA.
