Sjögren's drug shows promise in safety extension trial
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- efgartigimod
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment that reduces disease activity and symptoms in Sjögren's syndrome.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase safety extension study, not designed to prove effectiveness. The drug may not improve symptoms and carries risks like infections due to lowered antibody levels.
