An Investigator-Initiated Study of Efgartigimod PH20 SC in Adult Patients with Primary Sjogren's Disease (pSjD) with Moderate to Severe Dryness
Basic Information
| Recruitment status | Recruiting |
|---|---|
| Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied | Primary Sjogren's Disease-Associated Dryness Symptoms |
| Date of first enrollment | 01/08/2025 |
| Target sample size | 45 |
| Countries of recruitment | |
| Study type | Interventional |
| Intervention(s) | Screening period (<=4 weeks): Participants will attend a baseline visit within 4 weeks after the screening visit. Double-blinded treatment period (24 weeks): Following randomization, participants will enter a 24-week double-blinded treatment period, during which efgartigimod PH20 SC or placebo PH20 SC will be injected subcutaneously starting on day 1 (baseline) and continuing until week 23. Follow-up observational period or open-label extension period (48 weeks): At the end of the double-blinded treatment period (week 24), participants will be given the option to roll over to the open-label extension treatment period. If they choose not to roll over, they will be monitored during a 56-day treatment-free safety follow-up period. |
Outcome(s)
| Primary Outcome | -Change from baseline in ESSPRI-dryness at week 24 |
|---|---|
| Secondary Outcome | -Change from baseline in ESSPRI-total score at week 24 -Change from baseline in ESSPRI-fatigue score at week 24 -Change from baseline in ESSPRI-pain score at week 24 -Proportion of responders (improvement of ESSPRI-total score >1.0 point/15%) at week 24 -The proportion of responders in STAR at week 24 -Change from baseline in DiSSA total score at week 24 -Change from baseline in DiSSA joint pain at week 24 -Change from baseline in DiSSA fatigue at week 24 -Change from baseline in DiSSA dryness at week 24 |
