Summary

This study tested whether baricitinib, a drug that calms the immune system, can help people with active Sjogren's syndrome. About 87 adults were randomly assigned to take either hydroxychloroquine alone or baricitinib with or without hydroxychloroquine for 24 weeks. The goal was to see if baricitinib could better reduce symptoms like dryness and fatigue, as measured by standard disease activity scores.
