AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
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.
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
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
To evaluate the efficacy of telitacicept versus placebo at Week 48 in the change from baseline in the EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) score at Week 48.
. 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.
