Bangalore, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2018 -- Uveitis refers to inflammation of the uvea, the middle vascular coat of the eye, comprising the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It may also involve other adjacent tissues of the eye. Uveitis occurs at any age, but it most commonly affects individuals between 20 and 59 years of age. However, this trend is changing; the percentage of elderly uveitis patients has been increasing in recent years. Uveitis represents a major cause of ocular morbidity worldwide and often results in complications such as cataracts, glaucoma, ocular hypertension, macular issues, and retinal detachment.

It is a leading cause of blindness in both developed and developing countries and is the fifth most common cause of vision loss in the developed world. The uveitis market is characterized by a small selection of marketed drug options, consisting of corticosteroid therapies, immunosuppressive therapies and biologics. Historically, corticosteroid therapies have made up the bulk of the uveitis market.

Currently only one targeted therapy is available in the Asia-Pacific uveitis market, which is AbbVie's Humira (adalimumab). The late-stage uveitis pipeline is composed of Santen's Opsiria and Clearside Biomedical's CLS-TA, which are expected to be highly lucrative and address some of the unmet needs.

These new drugs will expand the options available to treat uveitis patients and contribute to overall market growth by offering novel treatment mechanisms, including new drug delivery routes and novel, non-corticosteroid drug molecules.
