ICYMI: BSR Guideline on Management of Sjogren’s Syndrome

Sjögren disease (SD) is the most common of all autoimmune disease, yet little is know of its etiology and there are insufficient interventions for those affected with mucosal or systemic manifestations. The British Society of Rheumatology has updated its 2017 guidelines, with wider evidence and

Update on Sjogren's disease trials

With better endpoint and patient selection strategy over the last 4 years, many new therapies have met their endpoints/shown promising signal in the Phase 2 randomised controlled trials in Sjogren's disease (iscalimab, ianalumab, dazodalibep, and sequential therapy belimumab + rituximab). Since

#EULAR2024 POS0375 Negative trial need to be reported too. Phase 2 RCT of S95011, an IL7-R antibody in moderate to severe systemic #Sjogren failed to meet primary endpoint (ESSDAI) or other secondary (ESSPRI, biomarkers). This inhibition unlikely to impact on SjD @RheumNow

#EULAR2024 POS0417 Using EXPLORE Inflammation I & II proteomics, marked immune dysregulation was seen in new ANA+ referral vs HC. 34% progressed to #lupus & #Sjogren. Six potential baseline biomarkers identified & closely resembled established SLE. Validation is ongoing @RheumNow https://t.co/I6HygqNwf7

Nipocalimab (anti-FcRn - i.e. PLEX-in-a-bottle) with a positive phase 2 in Sjogren’s. This study is in high systemic dx pts (with nice response matching biological plausibility) - but salivary flow improved too ESSPRI didn’t quite make it, but close #EULAR2024 LBA0010 @RheumNow https://t.co/PslFKJBOOr

#EULAR2024 LBA0010 Promising Tx with diff mode of action in antibody+ #Sjogren. Phase 2 RCT Nipocalimab, anti-neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)Ab that reduces IgG, met primary endpoint (clinESSDAI). Low SIE but doubled in lowest dose vs PBO (unrelated to IgG). On to Phase3 @RheumNow https://t.co/NlCc2l4zFL

#EULAR2024 POS1245 Healthcare Administrative Data in Italy showed despite prevalence of 3.8/10,000, heathcare cost in #Sjogren was 3 x higher than the general population due to active disease & comorbidities. Call for better MDT approach in management @RheumNow https://t.co/EevoT4jkqr

#EULAR2024 OP0008 Phase 2 #Sjogren RCT Iscalimumab, anti-CD40mAb in two cohorts (1=High systemic activity; 2=High symptom burden but low systemic) showed sustained improvement in ESSDAI & ESSPRI at 48wks in ISC-ISC group, as well as those switched at 24wks from PBO-ISC @RheumNow https://t.co/GuifDHA0lK

#EULAR2024 OP0076 UK multicentre cohort study showed rituximab was effective in systemic features of #Sjogren in children & adults. One in 6 lost response in subsequent cycle due to antidrug antibodies. Humanised or type 2 antiCD20Ab in the future could improve this @RheumNow https://t.co/duYpr2yKGB
