NCT ID NCT06203457

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at the long-term safety of efgartigimod in 24 adults with primary Sjögren's syndrome who had already completed a prior trial. Efgartigimod works by lowering certain antibodies that may drive the disease. The main goal was to track side effects over 48 weeks, with a secondary look at whether symptoms improved.
