The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether children and young adults with well-controlled juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated uveitis or chronic anterior uveitis can safely take adalimumab (or biosimilar) injections less often while maintaining control of their disease. The main question it aims to answer is: can adalimumab/biosimilar injections be given less frequently without uveitis (eye inflammation) or arthritis (joint inflammation) returning? Researchers will compare adalimumab/biosimilar injection schedules of every 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks to determine how injection frequency affects disease control. Participants will: * Take adalimumab/biosimilar injections every 2, 4, 8, or 12 weeks. * Attend study visits every 6 weeks over 24 weeks, with an additional follow-up visit at 48 weeks for checkups, tests, and questionnaires. * Keep a diary of how often they take adalimumab/biosimilar and other drugs they take for their uveitis/arthritis.
Inclusion Criteria: * Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study period * History of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) or chronic anterior uveitis (CAU), diagnosed prior to 16 years of age (patient may be older than 16 at time of enrollment) * ≥2 years of age (per FDA approval for use in children with polyarticular JIA) * Weight must be ≥15kg * Formal diagnosis of JIA-associated uveitis or CAU with no other suspected etiology * ≥24 consecutive months of controlled ocular inflammation (≤0.5+ anterior chamber cell, ≤0.5+ vitreous haze…
Adalimumab is a fully human monoclonal anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha antibody - a biologic, immunomodulatory drug. Adalimumab (20mg or 40mg) is a clear, colorless solution available as an injectable auto-pen or pre-filled syringe for subcutaneous injection. All FDA-approved adalimumab biosimilars are allowed for this trial and include: Abrilada (adalimumab-afzb), Amjevita (adalimumab-atto), Cyltezo (adalimumab-adbm), Hadlima (adalimumab-bwwd), Hulio (adalimumab-fkjp), Hyrimoz (adalimumab-adaz), Idacio (adalimumab-aacf), Simlandi (adalimumab-ryvk), Yuflyma (adalimumab-aaty), and Yusimry (adalimumab-aqvh).
