Study description
This study was done to test if S95011 (study drug) is a safe and effective treatment for patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (PSS).
PSS is a condition in which the body’s immune system attacks all the organs of the body, especially the glands that make fluids like tears, saliva, or sweat. This causes dryness in the eyes, mouth, and other areas of the body. PSS is often associated with fatigue and pain. PSS is much more common in women than in men.
Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is a specific protein that promotes disease by triggering the cells of the immune system. In PSS, IL-7 is found in higher-than-normal amounts.
S95011 is a drug that blocks the action of the IL-7 protein. This drug is yet to be approved by regulatory agencies for the treatment of patients with PSS.
The main goal of this study was to test if S95011 can improve symptoms of patients with PSS, as compared to a placebo. A placebo looks like S95011 but does not have any medicine in it.

How is the study designed?
S95011 was given through infusion into a vein at the dose of 750 milligrams (mg). An infusion is an injection given slowly. S95011 was given for at least 60 minutes.
Infusions every 2 weeks until week 4 and then every 3 weeks until week 10.
Placebo concentrate for solution for infusion
A placebo looks like S95011 but does not have any medicine in it. Placebo was given through infusion.
Infusions every 2 weeks until week 4 and then every 3 weeks until week 10.
