Treatment FOr Corticosteroid Dependent UveitiS

FOCUS is the first prospective randomized study comparing standard of care (mycophenolate mofetil) to adalimumab in recently active non infectious uveitis (NIU) with steroid dependency. There is no firm evidence or randomized trials that compared classical immunosuppressive compounds to biological agents; or identified the best treatment in this condition. The burden of NIU has been reduced with the use of immunosuppressive agents and biologics, raising the question of which of these compounds should be preferentially used in recently active NIU with steroid dependency.
