Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we withdraw Infliximab infusion therapy for refractory uveitis of Behcet's disease, and make the shift to Cyclosporin A. Long-term Infliximab administration has risks such as malignant lymphoma, tuberculosis, opportunistic infection, etc. With medical economics, withdrawal of Infliximab has advantages for patients. However, there are few reports on the withdrawal of Infliximab and it is cited as a future subject.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary outcomes is the proportion of cases in which Infliximab is reintroduced in one year from the start of Infliximab withdrawal. Because the number of cases is small, if the proportion of re-introduction of Infliximab is 20% or less, it is acceptable.

Interventions/Control_1

Patients with Behcet's disease who has received Infliximab intravenous infusion treatment at 8 week intervals over a long period (over 4 years) and calm eye inflammation, shall be discontinued from infliximab and be changed to cyclosporine A oral administration. For cases in which uveitis can not be suppressed and infliximab is reintroduced, if it is 20% or less, it shall be acceptable. Cyclosporine A is started orally at 5 mg / kg / day orally twice a day from 6 weeks after the final Infiximab administration, the maintenance dose is 3 to 5 mg / kg / day, and if the clinical findings are stabilized, Losing weight little by little is judged by the research doctor . The target trough value should be less than 150 ng / ml. The observation period of cyclosporine administration is one year.

The duration of infliximab for the 3 cases was an average of 7 years and 8 months, and the remission of ocular inflammation after introduction of infliximab was an average of 6 years and 8 months.
In all cases, there was no eye inflammation attack for 1 year, the eye activity score remained at 0, and there were no cases of reintroduction of infliximab.
However, all cases had relapsed systemic symptoms such as extraocular symptoms such as folliculitis,recurrent oral aphthae, and unknown fever.
