New Sjögren's drug IBI355 enters human testing
NCT ID NCT06484855
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug called IBI355 in 30 adults with primary Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease that causes dry eyes and mouth. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and how the body processes it at different doses. Participants receive either IBI355 or a placebo by IV every 4 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- IBI355 (an experimental drug given by IV infusion every 4 weeks)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option to control Sjögren's syndrome symptoms and disease activity.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 30 participants, so it is primarily checking safety and dosing—not yet testing if the drug actually works. Many drugs fail at this stage.
