Summary

This trial tests whether an experimental drug called efgartigimod can reduce nerve damage and pain in adults with Sjogren's disease. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo as a subcutaneous injection. The study measures changes in neuropathy symptoms and quality of life over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
efgartigimod PH20 given as a subcutaneous injection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment to reduce nerve pain and damage in people with Sjogren's disease, improving their quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not be conclusive. The drug may not work for everyone and could have side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Is at least 18 years of age and the local legal age of consent for clinical studies when signing the ICF * Meets the following SjD criteria: Fulfilled American College of Rheumatology and the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology classification 2016 SjD criteria before screening; Moderate-to-severe disease defined as a ESSDAI ≥ 5 or clinESSDAI ≥ 6 with PNS domain score of ≥ 5 (ie, a score of at least low activity) at screening; Anti-Ro/SS-A positive at a central laboratory at screening * Meets the following SjD-associated polyneuropathy criteria: Diagnosis of SjD-associated SMPN, SPN or sensory ganglionopathy, with neuropathy duration ≤ 5 years at screening and signs of active neuropathic disease development within the last 12 months; patients with co-existing SjD-associated small fiber neuropathy are eligible; No alternative diagnosis of neuropathy etiology; Total mTCNS ≥ 6 at screening; mTCNS sensory test score \<level 3 at screening (does not apply to sensory ganglionopathy cohort where any severity is acceptable) Exclusion Criteria: * Besides the indication under study, known medical conditions that would interfere with an accurate assessment of clinical symptoms of SjD-associated SMPN or SPN or gangliopathy, confound the study results, or puts the participant at undue risk. * Associated (also known as secondary) SjD, defined as overlap with another autoimmune rheumatic or systemic inflammatory condition (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy). * Active fibromyalgia which is not adequately controlled in the judgment of the investigator, or participant is receiving fibromyalgia treatment that has not been stable treatment for at least 12 weeks before screening. * An alternative etiology for SMPN/SPN/sensory ganglionopathy or insufficient evidence of the diagnosis. * Any severe SjD manifestation or other health condition not adequately controlled at screening or baseline that may put the participant at undue risk based on the investigator's opinion. * Comorbidities (eg, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) which have required 3 or more courses of systemic (oral, IV, or IM) glucocorticoids within the previous 12 months. * History of malignancy unless considered cured by adequate treatment with no evidence of recurrence for ≥ 3 years; before first IMP administration.
