Blood test may predict Sjögren's severity
NCT ID NCT07414667
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring a specific antibody, anti-Ro52, in the blood of people with Sjögren's syndrome can help predict who will develop serious problems like lymphoma or organ damage. Researchers will follow 150 patients over time to see if higher antibody levels are linked to worse disease activity. The goal is to improve how doctors assess risk and tailor treatment for each patient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a blood test that helps doctors identify Sjögren's patients at higher risk for serious complications, enabling earlier and more personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. The findings may not change current practice if the antibody levels don't reliably predict outcomes.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
This study will include adult patients (≥18 years old) diagnosed with primary Sjögren's syndrome according to the 2016 ACR/EULAR classification criteria. Participants must have had a quantitative measurement of anti-Ro52 antibodies performed as part of routine clinical care since 2020. Eligible patients will be followed in the internal medicine department or other participating units and must provide informed consent or non-opposition to participate. Patients with other systemic autoimmune diseases, prior organ or bone marrow transplantation, severe immunosuppression unrelated to Sjögren's syndrome, incomplete clinical or laboratory data, or under legal protection will be excluded.

Inclusion Criteria : * Age ≥ 18 years at the time of inclusion, * Diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome according to the 2016 ACR/EULAR classification criteria, * Quantitative measurement of anti-Ro52 antibodies performed as part of routine care, starting from 2020 (date of routine implementation in the laboratory), * Documented medical follow-up in the internal medicine department (or other participating department), * No objection to participation in research after being informed according to current regulations (record of non-opposition if applicable). Exclusion Criteria * Presence of another systemic autoimmune connective tissue disease, including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, autoimmune myositis, rheumatoid arthritis (except nonspecific arthralgia without classification criteria), * History of solid organ or bone marrow transplantation, * Severe immunosuppression unrelated to Sjögren's syndrome (e.g., HIV infection, ongoing chemotherapy for active hematologic malignancy), * Incomplete or non-exploitable clinical or biological data preventing analysis of primary or secondary endpoints, * Individuals under legal protection measures (e.g., guardianship).
