Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Diagnosis of non-anterior non-infectious uveitis refractory to at least one line of biotherapy (anti-TNF alpha, tocilizumab). Refractory uveitis is defined as: a. Either active uveitis, i.e., anterior chamber inflammation >2+ [Tyndall, SUN scale (1)] and/or vitreous inflammation >2+ [Vitreous Haze, SUN scale (1)] and/or the presence of retinal vasculitis and/or the presence of cystoid macular edema (central macular thickness greater than strictly 300 µm measured by optical coherence tomography, associated with the visualization of intraretinal logettes) b. or inactive uveitis but with corticosteroid dependence = 10 mg/day for at least 3 months. 2. Need for discontinuation of biotherapy (anti-TNF alpha or tocilizumab) and conventional immunosuppressants (mycofenolate mofetil, methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclosporine, interferon alpha 2a) for at least 10 days prior to the inclusion date. 3. Patient of legal age who has read and understood the information letter and signed the consent form. 4. Patient affiliated to a social security plan. 5. Patient under 75 years of age 6. Female: a.

Surgically infertile: no ovaries and/or uterus; c. Menopausal: confirmatory diagnosis (non-medically induced amenorrhea for at least 12 months prior to the inclusion visit). 7. A negative quantiferon less than 6 months old (6 months included) and a normal chest x-ray less than 3 months old (3 months included) or a positive quantiferon in patients with a history of previously treated latent TB according to current recommendations. 8. HIV, HCV and HBV serology with no active infection, less than 1 month old (1 month included). Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 30 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 3

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Baricitinib, a JAK1 and 2 inhibitor, in the management of non-infectious non-anterior uveitis refractory to at least one line of biotherapy (anti-TNF alpha, tocilizumab) after 6 months of treatment;Secondary Objective: - evaluate the rate of complete remission at 1 month and 3 months. - evaluate the evolution of visual acuity at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. - to evaluate the evolution of ocular inflammation at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. - evaluate the evolution of retinal vasculitis lesions at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. - To evaluate the evolution of macular edema at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. - to evaluate the evolution of corticosteroid dosage at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. - to evaluate the tolerance of the treatment;Primary end point(s): complete remission at 6 months;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Complete remission at 1 month, 3 months of treatment, according to the same parameters as defined for the primary endpoint. - Median change in visual acuity (LogMAR) at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months of treatment compared to baseline ophthalmic assessment. - Slit-lamp measurement of median change in anterior chamber inflammation according to the Tyndall, SUN (1) scale at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months of treatment compared to baseline ophthalmologic assessment. - Slit-lamp measurement of median change in vitreous inflammation according to the vitreous haze (SUN [1]) at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of treatment compared with the initial ophthalmologic evaluation. - Fluorescein angiographic analysis of vasculitis lesions at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of treatment compared with the initial ophthalmologic evaluation. - Optical coherence tomography measurement of median change in central macular thickness at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of treatment compared with the initial ophthalmologic evaluation. - Measurement of the number of patients with correction of cystoid macular edema measured by optical coherence tomography (cystoid macular thickness < 300 µm and disappearance of intraretinal logettes) at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of treatment compared with the initial ophthalmologic assessment. - Measurement of median change in corticosteroid dosages at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of treatment compared with the initial ophthalmologic evaluation. - EvI and EvIG on baricitinib from initiation of treatment through 6 months of follow-up. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1, 3 and 6 months
