Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Male or female aged 18 to 75 years of age (both inclusive) at screening
- Participants must meet the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/EULAR classification criteria for primary Sjogren's Syndrome at the time of screening.
- ESSDAI ≥5 at screening (score calculated excluding renal, pulmonary and neurological domains)
- Participants are seropositive for antibodies to Sjogren's Syndrome A (SSA)/Anti-Sjogren's Syndrome A (Ro) at the Screening Visit. Additional inclusion criteria are defined in the protocol
Exclusion criteria
- Participants who have a systemic autoimmune disease other than Primary Sjogren's Disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or systemic sclerosis, that can better explain the majority of the symptoms (i.e., secondary Sjogren's Disease)
- Participants who have another autoimmune disease or inflammatory condition that could interfere with assessment of response of Primary Sjogren's Disease to therapy (e.g., systemic sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, gout).
- Participants with severe fibromyalgia that could interfere with the assessment of response of Primary Sjogren's Disease to therapy
- Active life-threatening or organ-threatening complications of Primary Sjogren's Disease at the time of screening based on investigator evaluation
- Significant, uncontrolled medical disease in any organ system not related to Primary Sjogren's Disease (e.g., poorly controlled asthma, cardiovascular disease, accelerated hypertension, major depression, etc.) that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participant participation. Additional exclusion criteria are defined in the protocol

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
