Study details
This study is a Phase 2a/b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial involving participants with SjD. The study consists of three parts (Part A, Part B, and Part C).
The study includes a screening period of up to 8 weeks to assess eligibility, a 52-week treatment period, and a 4-week safety follow-up period after the last dose of study treatment.

Who can take part?
Inclusion Criteria
• Participants must have a diagnosis of SjD according to the ACR/EULAR 2016 classification criteria at screening:
\- Positive anti-Ro (SSA) antibodies at screening. Participants negative for anti-Ro/SSA antibodies are eligible if they have documented previous biopsy showing evidence of salivary gland inflammation consistent with SjD.
Exclusion Criteria
- Presence of another autoimmune rheumatic disease that is active at screening and constitutes the principal illness.
- Exclusion based on medications being used for SjD:
- Participants taking \> 400 mg/day hydroxychloroquine are excluded. Participants taking ≤400 mg/day hydroxychloroquine should be on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization.
- Participants taking \> 400 mg/day hydroxychloroquine are excluded. Participants on ≤ 400 mg/day of hydroxychloroquine should be on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization.
- Prior treatment with any of the following within 3 months prior to randomization: belimumab, abatacept, anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha biologic agents, immunoglobulins, plasmapheresis, intravenous (i.v.) or oral cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, i.v. or oral cyclosporine A, or any other immunosuppressants (e.g., JAK inhibitors or other kinase inhibitors, IL-2, anti-IL-6, anti-IL-17).
- Previous treatment with any cell-depleting therapies, including but not limited to anti-CD20, unless ≥ 12 months prior to screening.
- Any viral, bacterial or other infections at the time of screening or randomization, or history of recurrent clinically significant infection or of recurrent bacterial infection.
- History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized non melanoma carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer) within the last five years of randomization or any malignancy not in remission.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effects and safety of an investigational treatment in people with Sjögren’s disease.
Participants will receive either the investigational treatment or a placebo. A placebo looks like the investigational treatment but does not contain active medication. Participants will be in the treatment part of the study for 52 weeks, and then will have a 4-week safety follow-up after the last dose.
This study may be an option for
People with Sjögren’s disease may be able to participate if they:
- Have Sjögren’s disease based on the ACR/EULAR 2016 classification criteria
- Have a positive anti-Ro (SSA) antibody test at screening, or (if anti-Ro/SSA is negative) have records of a past salivary gland biopsy showing inflammation consistent with Sjögren’s disease
Study timeline and visits:
There is a screening period of up to 8 weeks. Treatment lasts 52 weeks. After the last dose, there is a 4-week safety follow-up period.
