Arthritis RheumatolPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

In patients with SjD, ianalumab 300 mg demonstrated sustained efficacy through week 52 and a favorable safety profile up to two years of follow-up.

Study context

Population
Patients with Sjögren's disease (SjD)90 entered TP2
Participants
190 patients
Comparison
Ianalumab 5, 50 or 300 mg sc every 4 weeks vs placebo; at week 24, 300 mg rerandomised to continue 300 mg or placebo until week 52
  • Placebon = 49reference
  • 5 mgn = 47
  • 50 mgn = 47
  • 300 mgn = 47
Primary endpoint
52-week safety and efficacy of ianalumab
Follow-up
Week 52
Methodological detailsplacebo-controlled, phase 2b, dose-ranging, rerandomisation at week 24, 81 of 90 (90.0%) completed TP2 study treatment
  • Placebo-controlled
  • Phase 2b
  • Dose-ranging
  • Rerandomisation at week 24
  • 81 of 90 (90.0%) completed TP2 study treatment
