Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an auto-immune condition involving salivary and lacrymal glands leading to dry mouth and dry eyes symptoms. Some patients also present with systemic manifestations. Diagnosis of SS is made after clinical, serological, and histological assessment according to the American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria. Recent clinical trials showed a significant decrease of systemic activity of SS in patients treated with iscalimab (anti-CD40) and ianalumab (anti-BAFF-R). These results need to be confirmed in larger studies. However, two phase 3 randomized trials did not show efficacy treating SS with abatacept. We also describe in this article the first EULAR recommendations on SS management.
