Filter by:Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. In addition, various extraglandular manifestations may develop. Several immunomodulating agents have been attempted in the treatment of pSS without achieving satisfactory results. Currently, there is no approved systemic treatment for pSS. Dysfunction of regulatory T (Treg) cells has been detected in diverse autoimmune diseases, which can be promoted by interleukin-2 (IL-2). The investigators hypothesized that low-dose IL-2 could be a novel therapy in active pSS patients. This clinical study will test the efficacy and safety of low dose IL-2 treatment in pSS. The investigators perform a single-centre, double-blind pilot trial with hrIL-2 in pSS. The investigators evaluate the effectiveness and safeness of low-dose hrIL-2 for primary Sjögren's Syndrome by randomized controlled study (hrIL-2 (N = 30) versus placebo group (N = 30)).
The main objective of the study is to characterize the gene expression in immune and epithelial cells in salivary gland biopsy samples and blood of pSS (primary Sjögren's syndrome) and non-pSS participants including healthy volunteers.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and exploratory activity of topically-applied NS2 dermatologic cream administered once-daily (QD) to subjects with ichthyosis secondary to Sjögren- Larsson Syndrome (SLS). NS2 is expected to trap fatty aldehydes that are pathogenic in SLS patients, and thereby diminish the lipid-aldehyde adduct formation that likely results in ichthyosis associated with SLS, and potentially reduce the mild dermal inflammation characteristic of SLS.
The purpose of this sudy is to investigate the effects of a regular aerobic exercise on aerobic capacity, fatigue, depression, quality of life, perception of symptoms and disease activity in women with pSS.
This aim of this study is to compare the reproducibility of reading of five international experts concerning the anomalies of the salivary glands. The reproducibility is measure on patients and not on recorded data.
A Phase 2a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AMG 557/MEDI5872 in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an anti-inflammatory drug (Lotemax®) on the surface of the eye and tear film (a film that coats the eye which is made up of oil and water).
This study did evaluate the safety,tolerability and preliminary therapeutic efficacy of multiple doses of intravenous infusion of CFZ533 monoclonal antibody in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome(pSS)
Dry eye is a chronic condition that decreases function and affect visual function with severe discapacity until now treatments are based in artificial eye drops. Platelet rich plasma has emerged as a strategy for cellular restoration, the purpose of this study is to evaluate their effects in lacrimal production and safety of this intervention in patients with severe dry eye.
Sjogren's Syndrome is an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks its own glands in the body. Some of these glands are responsible for providing lubrication for the eye. As a result, individuals with Sjogren's Syndrome often experience dry eye. Recently, a study had shown that dry eye symptoms were improved by removing debris and old skin cells along the eyelid margin. This technique is called eyelid debridement-scaling. The purpose of this study is to determine how well this technique works in improving dry eye signs and symptoms in individuals with Sjogren's Syndrome.
