Efficacy and Safety of Adalimumab for Exacerbation or Relapse of Ocular Inflammation in Patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease: A Multicenter Study
OCULAR IMMUNOLOGY AND INFLAMMATION(2024)
摘要
Purpose We investigated efficacy and safety of adalimumab (ADA) treatment for exacerbation or recurrence of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) patients. Methods Medical records of 70 VKH patients who received ADA treatment for more than 6 months were retrospectively investigated. Results The mean age of VKH patients was 54.8 +/- 15.1 years, and male/female ratio was 34/36, and sunset glow fundus was observed in 71.4%. Subfoveal choroidal thickness, indocyanine green angiography scores, and corticosteroid and cyclosporine doses were significantly reduced by ADA treatment for 6 months compared to baseline, while LogMAR and flare counts were also improved without being statistically significant. Adverse events were observed in 17.1%, in which tuberculosis was at 7.14% and psoriasis was at 2.86%; however, ADA treatment was continued in 91.4%. Conclusions ADA was shown to be effective to achieve remission of VKH disease refractory to conventional treatments and was generally well tolerated with few serious adverse events.
