Uveitis Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Uveitis Overview
Prevent Blindness Organization defines Uveitis as, a term for inflammation of the eye. It is an inflammation of the uvea, the pigmented layer that lies between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea. Uvea is made up of the iris, ciliary body and choroid.
Uveitis is caused by inflammatory responses inside the eye that can be caused due to tissue damage, germs, or toxins which lead swelling, redness, heat, and destroys tissues as certain white blood cells rush to the affected part.
Uveitis can affect anyone at any age, but it is most commonly seen in working-age adults in their fourth decade. There is a higher prevalence in women. Uveitis is classified anatomically as anterior, intermediate, posterior, or diffuse. Anterior uveitis typically refers to inflammation of the iris and anterior chamber; intermediate uveitis refers to inflammation of the ciliary body and vitreous humor (the jellylike filling in the anterior portion of the eye); and posterior uveitis refers to inflammation of the retina, choroid, or the optic disk (where the optic nerve enters the retina). Diffuse uveitis (panuveitis) implies inflammation of the entire uveal tract.
Uveitis Diagnosis
A uveitis diagnosis requires a thorough examination by an ophthalmologist, including a detailed look into the past and present health history. Uveitis can be suspected in any patient who has ocular ache, redness, photophobia, floaters, or decreased vision. It is diagnosed by eye chart or visual acuity test, funduscopic exam, ocular pressure test, and slit lamp exam.

Uveitis Treatment
Treatment for Uveitis aims to help relieve pain and discomfort in the eye, underlying cause, and reduction in inflammation that can prevent permanent loss of vision or other complications. The primary goal of treating uveitis is to get rid of inflammation as fast as possible.
Corticosteroids are the first-line therapy of the treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases. In the United States, corticosteroids are the drugs that are approved as first-line treatment by the US FDA for the treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases in the form of topical administration or sustained intravitreal implants. The approved corticosteroid and combination drugs include Durezol, Triesence, Retisert, Iluvien, Tobradex, Yutiq, and Ozurdex. Acthar Gel is a naturally sourced complex mixture of adrenocorticotropic hormone analogs and other pituitary peptides approved for the treatment of severe acute and chronic allergic and inflammatory processes.
Immunosuppressants such as azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate Mofetil, and cyclosporine are considered as the second line of therapy. The appropriate treatment and choice of immunosuppressive therapy of Uveitis depend on both the extent and severity of the inflammatory process.
Biologics are being used as the third line of therapy to treat Uveitis that fails to induce a response to conventional forms of immunosuppression. Among them, Humira (Adalimumab) is the first human monoclonal antibody being approved for the Uveitis. Approval of Humira in the United States, Europe and Japan is a major advancement in improving the existing standards of care for patients. Several off-label biologics such as Etanercept, Infliximab, Tocilizumab, and Certolizumab are used for Uveitis
Uveitis Epidemiology
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Prevalent Population of Uveitis, Diagnosed Prevalent Population of Uveitis, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Population of Uveitis, Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Population of Uveitis, Type-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Population of Uveitis, Diagnosed Prevalence of Non-infectious Uveitis (NIU) by Anatomical Location, and Grade-specific Diagnosed Prevalence of Anterior noninfectious Uveitis (aNIU) scenario of uveitis in the 7MM covering the United States, EU5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) and Japan from 2017 to 2030.

Uveitis Marketed Drugs
Durezol: Sirion Therapeutics
Durezol (Alcon Pharmaceuticals/ Sirion Therapeutics) is a corticosteroid ophthalmic emulsion, indicated for the treatment of postoperative ocular inflammation and pain, and endogenous Anterior Uveitis. Its active pharmaceutical ingredient is Difluprednate, which is structurally similar to other corticosteroids. It is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. There is no clear explanation of the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid.

Uveitis Market Outlook
United States contributes to the major share of the Uveitis market as compared to other countries, such as EU5 (Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, France, and Germany) and Japan. The high prevalence of Uveitis in the United States is a major factor in stimulating market growth.
The Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature Working Group Guidelines recommends the use of corticosteroids as first-line therapy for patients with active uveitis. However, long-term corticosteroid treatment can cause serious systemic and ocular side effects, such as hypertension, diabetes, cataract, and glaucoma. Alternatively, immunomodulatory therapy (IMT) drugs are given as steroid-sparing agents and have shown good clinical results for both systemic diseases and ocular inflammatory diseases. IMT agents include the antimetabolites methotrexate, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil; the calcineurin inhibitors that include cyclosporine, tacrolimus, and sirolimus; alkylating agents that include cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil; biologic response modifiers that include the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-_ inhibitors infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept, golimumab, and certolizumab; lymphocyte inhibitors that include daclizumab, rituximab, abatacept, and basiliximab; specific receptor antagonists that include anakinra, canakinumab, gevokizumab, tocilizumab, alemtuzumab, efalizumab, secukinumab, and ustekinumab; and interferon (INF).
Fluocinolone acetonide (Retisert) and dexamethasone (Ozurdex) are the two corticosteroid compounds in the FDA approved intraocular implants. Two sustained-release corticosteroid potent implants– Retisert and Ozurdex are approved for the treatment of Posterior Uveitis. Use of immunosuppressive agents such as Methotrexate, Azathioprine, Mycophenolate Mofetil, and Cyclosporine being used for preventing ocular inflammation and off-labels biologics such as Infliximab are also fueling the growth of mark and also act as market drivers. Approval of Humira in the United States, Europe and Japan is a major advancement in improving the existing standards of care for patients.
The approved corticosteroid and combination drugs include Durezol, Triesence, Retisert, Iluvien, Tobradex, Yutiq, Acthar Gel, and Ozurdex.

Reimbursement Scenario in Uveitis
In June 2019, United Kingdom’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), in its Final Appraisal Determination for national reimbursement, had recommended funding for Iluvien 190 mg intravitreal implant in the applicator for the prevention of relapse in recurrent noninfectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment (NIPU). The NICE recommendation for funding signifies that the country’s National Health Service (NHS) will pay for Iluvien prescriptions for the treatment of NIPU as part of its offering (Bloomberg, 2019). In Japan, the patients pay between 10–30% of the cost of biologicals and biosimilars. The rest of the amount is funded by the insurance companies or government.
In the UK, Alimera has been engaged with NICE to determine the cost-effectiveness of Iluvien for NIPU’s treatment. The assessment to date has been a nonpublic process and is ongoing. Alimera anticipated that NICE will provide a public response soon and would require the submission of additional data and modeling to the appraisal committee to substantiate ILUVIEN’s cost-effectiveness, and further evaluation, before a public committee meeting in May 2019. This assessment process had no effect on any private payer use following the national phase nor on NICE’s previous agreement to fund the treatment of pseudophakic eyes in chronic diabetic macular edema patients that are insufficiently responsive to available therapies.
