Researchers track dry eye and Sjögren's over time in Follow-Up study
NCT ID NCT05056012
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows up with 220 people who previously took part in the Sjögren's International Clinical Collaborative Alliance (SICCA) study at the University of Pennsylvania. Researchers will collect tears, saliva, blood, and other samples, along with eye and mouth exams, to track changes in dry eye and Sjögren's syndrome over time. The goal is to better understand these conditions, not to test a new treatment.
