New blood marker may predict Sjögren's Flare-Ups
NCT ID NCT03003572
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking for a better way to track disease activity in people with primary Sjögren's syndrome, a chronic autoimmune disease that causes dryness and can affect organs. Researchers will test a new blood marker called anti-Ro/SSA IgE in 185 participants to see if it is higher in those with active disease. The goal is to find a reliable tool to help doctors monitor the condition and guide treatment.
