To evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of UTAA09 injection in patients with R/R AID. To evaluate the initial efficacy of UTAA09 injection in the treatment of R/R AID subjects. To evaluate the immunogenicity of UTAA09 injection in R/R AID subjects.
Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein and acts as a glutamate carboxypeptidase enzyme. It is first described in prostate cancer cell lines and later identified in various tissues, include salivary gland. This pilot study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-P16-093 in primary sjogren's syndrome patients.
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disorder characterized by glandular and extra-glandular manifestations. It is called primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) in absence of another connective tissue disease. The hallmark symptoms of pSS are dry eyes and dry mouth due to the decreased lacrimal and salivary gland functions. However, other tissue and organs may also be involved which precede such as xerotrachea in upper airway, atrophic gastritis and pancreatitis in gastrointestinal tract, and dryness in vaginal mucosa. Regarding to the genital involvement in pSS, vaginal dryness and resultant vaginal discomfort, and pain are reported as the common complaints. The transudate released by vaginal mucosa is the main resource of vaginal secretions.The human microbiome was reported to have a potential impact in etiopathogenesis of certain autoimmune disorders. The previous research revealed significant alterations in the gut, eye, and oral flora of the pSS patients. The disturbed oral flora due to immunodeficiency and reduced salivary flow was also reported to make the SS patients to prone to bacterial infections and recurrent oral candidiasis. Vaginitis has been defined as a spectrum of symptoms suggesting vulvovaginal discomfort such as itching, burning, irritation, and abnormal discharge. Even the vaginitis is an evidence of disturbance in vaginal flora, previous prospective research on vaginal microbiome of pSS patients either excluded the cases with vaginitis or not mentioned from the presence of vaginitis in women with pSS. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been any study yet to define the characteristics of vaginal flora through the presence of clinical signs and symptoms in women with pSS. To gain more insight into the clinical context of the gynecologic complaints, sexual dysfunction, and presence of vaginitis in pSS, the current study aims to identify the associations between these issues and pSS related disease parameters.
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease mainly characterized by exocrine gland involvement. Beyond the wide heterogeneity in clinical presentation, neurological manifestation is one of the important systemic involvement of pSS. The prevalence of neurological involvement varies widely from 10% to 60% in different series. Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) as a popular clinical entity in recent years targets nociceptive thinly myelinated A-delta and unmyelinated C-fiber nerves and is frequently associated with burning and allodynic pain. Previous studies have demonstrated that SFN is frequently seen in patients with pSS and has an important clinical importance because it cannot be detected by routine electrophysiological studies. Various methods can be used in the detection of SFN, and cutaneous silent period (CSP) measurement is gaining popularity recently due to its non-invasiveness and practical fashion. In this study, the investigators aimed to compare CSP parameters as an indicator of SFN in patients with pSS and in the healthy population and to reveal its relationship with clinical parameters.
Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (PSS) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease primarily involving the salivary and lacrimal glands. Few data exist regarding survival and success rate of dental implants in patients with PSS. Although a previous study suggest lower success rate for dental implants we hypothesize that dental implants have similar survival and success rate in PSS as healthy controls. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the long-term survival and success rate of dental implants in patients with PSS compared to the healthy controls.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iguratimod compared to placebo in patients with active primary Sjogren's Syndrome.
A total of 68 women with pSS and 135 healthy female patients were included in the study. All women in the study and control groups were evaluated gynecologically, and genital findings during the examination and variables related to pSS were recorded. Women's sexual functions were evaluated with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and quality of life was evaluated using the Health Status Questionnaire-Short Form 36.
This is a first exploration of GLPG3970 in participants with active primary Sjogren's Syndrome (pSS) to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability and to determine its pharmacokinetics (PK) profile compared to placebo.
Evaluation of vaccination coverage for influenza, pneumococcus and DTP in patients with pSS and investigated the reasons for non-vaccination.
This pilot study will make a preliminary determination of the safety of ustekinumab in patients with Primary Sjogren's Syndrome (PSS) and assess the response of systemic measures of inflammation (biomarkers).
