| Primary | Corticosteroid-sparing Treatment Success Within the First 6 Months After Randomization | Corticosteroid-sparing success is defined as achieving inactive uveitis for two consecutive visits >= 28 days apart while on <= 7.5 mg/day of corticosteroids. Uveitis status (active vs inactive) is determined by the study ophthalmologist after reviewing the eye exam and imaging. Steroid dose and uveitis activity from visit months 6,8,10 and 12 were included in the analysis. Generalized estimating equations were used to fit logistic regression models to compare the cumulative proportion of corticosteroid sparing between the two treatment groups over time while accounting for correlation between replicate measurements on the same individual with an unstructured covariance matrix.
