What is being tested?
The study aims to test the effectiveness and safety of Abiprubart compared to a placebo in managing Sjögren's Disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Abiprubart or an inactive substance (placebo).
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects of Abiprubart are not provided here, but common drug-related side effects may include allergic reactions, gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, or headaches. Placebos generally have no direct side effects.
