Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Part A: To evaluate the efficacy of ABY-035 in treating active uveitis from Baseline (BL) up to week 10 (W10) with subsequent possible adaptation of the design in Part B Part B: To investigate the efficacy of ABY-035 in preventing relapse/recurrence in inactive uveitis from trial beyond W10 up to W50;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the safety of ABY-035 • To characterize the exposure of ABY-035 in plasma • To assess the immunogenicity of ABY-035 • To investigate the efficacy of ABY-035 in treating active uveitis from BL up to W10;Primary end point(s): Part A: number and proportion of subjects with complete response at week 10 Part B: "Time to Treatment Failure" (TTF) beyond week 10;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part A: week 10 Part B: after week 10

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: BL to W10 for Part A and W10 to W50 for Part B;Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints supporting the primary objectives for Part B (Efficacy) related to the preventive part (>W10): • Change in ACC grade from best state achieved =W10 up to W50 or up to discontinuation due to Treatment Failure, if earlier Change in vitreous haze grade (NEI/SUN criteria) from best state achieved =W10 up to W50 or up to discontinuation due to Treatment Failure, if earlier • Change in BCVA using logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) calculation from best state achieved =W10 up to W50 or up to discontinuation due to Treatment Failure, if earlier • Change in central retinal thickness (by SD-OCT) from best state achieved =W10 up to W50 or up to discontinuation due to Treatment Failure, if earlier • In subjects with excess CST (by SD-OCT) at BL: Change in the reduction of BL excess CST from best state achieved =W10 up to W50 or up to discontinuation due to Treatment Failure, if earlier • Change in the NEI VFQ-25 score from best state achieved =W10 up to W50 or up to discontinuation due to Treatment Failure, if earlier • Change in the EQ-5D-3L score from from best state achieved =W10 up to W50 or up to discontinuation due to Treatment Failure, if earlier Secondary endpoints (Efficacy) related to the treatment of active disease (=W10): • Change in ACC grade from BL to W10 or up to discontinuation due to Early Lack of Response, if earlier • Change in vitreous haze grade (NEI/SUN criteria) from BL to W10 or up to discontinuation due to Early Lack of Response, if earlier • Change in BCVA using logMAR calculation from BL to W10 or up to discontinuation due to Early Lack of Response, if earlier • Change in central retinal thickness (by SD-OCT) from BL to W10 or up to discontinuation due to Early Lack of Response, if earlier • Change of excess CST from BL to W10 or up to discontinuation due to Early Lack of Response, if earlier • Cha
