Summary

This trial is to measure long-term safety of ianalumab in participants with Sjogrens syndrome for up to 5 years; ianalumab will be given monthly or every 3 months (w/placebo in between). 600 participants will be enrolled. Some may self-inject at home.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with Sjogren's Syndrome who finished a year of treatment in one of the NEPTUNUS core studies without stopping early. They should be able to keep taking ianalumab, as judged by their doctor, and have agreed to join this extension study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of ianalumab given monthly or every three months for up to five years. Participants will either continue their current regimen from previous studies or be randomly assigned a new schedule while maintaining blinding with placebo injections.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants will monitor any adverse reactions over the course of treatment with ianalumab, which may include typical drug-related side effects such as injection site reactions, allergies, or other immune responses.
