A Study of CLN-978, a Subcutaneously Administered CD19-directed T Cell Engager, in Subjects With Sjogren's Disease

A phase 1b, open-label study of CLN-978 administered subcutaneously in patients with active, moderate to severe Sjogren's Disease.

A Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Sibeprenlimab Administered Subcutaneously in Participants With Sjögren's

This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the effects of sibeprenlimab 400 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 (Q4) weeks as an add-on to background treatment in participants with Sjögren's disease.

TREATMENT OF VAGINAL DRYNESS IN SJÖGREN'S DISEASE WITH CO2-LASER VERSUS TOPICAL PROMESTRIENE

Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a chronic, immune-mediated, systemic inflammatory disease characterized mainly by involvement of the salivary and lacrimal glands, causing symptoms of sicca syndrome. The disease predominantly affects women (9:1 to 20:1), with a peak incidence between 40 and 60 years of age. Symptoms of dryness include those resulting from vaginitis sicca, such as vulvovaginal irritation, dryness, pruritus, dyspareunia, polyuria, nocturia, dysuria, and urinary urgency/incontinence, which may begin before and worsen after menopause. These symptoms impact the sexual life and health-related quality of life of SjD patients. However, there are no specific recommendations for the management of vaginal dryness in this disease. Urogenital syndrome (UGS), a condition that affects women from the general population in the menopausal phase, is characterized by similar symptoms and can be treated with systemic or local hormone therapy (e.g., topical promestriene). Current data also demonstrate the efficacy and safety of vaginal fractional CO2 laser treatment for UGS. However, there are no studies on the efficacy of vaginal fractional CO2 laser and topical promestriene in the treatment of vaginal dryness in SjD.
