Summary

This early-stage trial will test an oral probiotic called R-2487 in 36 adults with Sjogren's syndrome. The main goal is to see if the probiotic is safe and tolerable. Researchers will also check for changes in disease activity and inflammation using blood and stool samples. The study is not yet recruiting.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
R-2487 (a probiotic taken by mouth)
What this could lead to
If this works, it could point toward a new way to manage Sjogren's syndrome by improving gut health and reducing inflammation.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 36 people, focused on safety. It is too soon to know if the probiotic will actually help symptoms, and it may not show any benefit.
