New drug telitacicept aims to tame Sjögren's in major trial
NCT ID NCT07404865
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This Phase 3 study tests whether telitacicept, a biologic drug given as a shot, can reduce disease activity in adults with active primary Sjögren's disease. About 250 participants will receive either telitacicept or a placebo for 48 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug improves a standard disease activity score.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telitacicept (a biologic drug given as a shot under the skin)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, telitacicept could become a new treatment option to control Sjögren's disease activity and improve symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but it's still experimental. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible. Results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female aged 18 to 75 years of age (both inclusive) at screening 2. Participants must meet the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/EULAR classification criteria for primary Sjogren's Syndrome at the time of screening. 3. ESSDAI ≥5 at screening (score calculated excluding renal, pulmonary and neurological domains) 4. Participants are seropositive for antibodies to Sjogren's Syndrome A (SSA)/Anti-Sjogren's Syndrome A (Ro) at the Screening Visit. Additional inclusion criteria are defined in the protocol Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants who have a systemic autoimmune disease other than Primary Sjogren's Disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or systemic sclerosis, that can better explain the majority of the symptoms (i.e., secondary Sjogren's Disease) 2. Participants who have another autoimmune disease or inflammatory condition that could interfere with assessment of response of Primary Sjogren's Disease to therapy (e.g., systemic sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, gout). 3. Participants with severe fibromyalgia that could interfere with the assessment of response of Primary Sjogren's Disease to therapy 4. Active life-threatening or organ-threatening complications of Primary Sjogren's Disease at the time of screening based on investigator evaluation 5. Significant, uncontrolled medical disease in any organ system not related to Primary Sjogren's Disease (e.g., poorly controlled asthma, cardiovascular disease, accelerated hypertension, major depression, etc.) that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participant participation. Additional exclusion criteria are defined in the protocol
