Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in ESSDAI score

    The EULAR Sjogren's syndrome (SS) disease activity index (ESSDAI) is a systemic disease activity index that was designed to measure disease activity in patients with primary SS. It includes 12 domains (ie, organ systems: cutaneous, respiratory, renal, articular, muscular, peripheral nervous system (PNS), central nervous system (CNS), haematological, glandular, constitutional, lymphadenopathic, biological). Each domain is divided into 3-4 levels of activity (no, low, moderate, high). Overall score is calculated as sum of all individual weighted domain scores (ranges from 0 (best) to 123 (worst activity). A higher score indicates worsening of the disease.

    Week 24

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Change from baseline in ESSDAI score

    Week 48

  • Percentage of subjects with ESSDAI score decreased from baseline by at least 3 points

    Week 24 & Week 48

  • Percentage of subjects with ESSDAI score < 5

    Week 24 & Week 48

  • Percentage of subjects with ESSPRI score decreased from baseline by at least 1 point or 15%

    Week 24 & Week 48

  • Change from baseline in MFI-20

    Week 24 & Week 48

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Telitacicept 80 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will be given subcutaneous Telitacicept 80 mg once a week for 48 weeks.

Biological: Telitacicept 80 mg

Telitacicept 160 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will be given subcutaneous Telitacicept 160 mg once a week for 48 weeks.

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Subjects will be given subcutaneous placebo once a week for 24-48 weeks. Subjects who are randomized to the placebo group are allowed to be transferred to either Telitacicept 80 mg or Telitacicept 160 mg after Week 24 by the investigator. Subjects and investigators are blinded throughout the study.
