Efficacy and Safety of Belimumab in Subjects With Primary Sjögren's Syndrome

A Phase 2, Proof of Concept, 52-Week Open Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Belimumab (HGS1006, LymphoStat-B™), a Fully Human Monoclonal Anti-BLyS (BAFF) Antibody, in Subjects With Primary Sjögren's Syndrome

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 2
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 20 (actual)
• Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by an increase in BAFF (BLyS) levels and a resulting B cell hyperactivity. B cells are involved in the pathogenesis of SS in both systemic and glandular features, and B cell downregulation may lead to a decrease of disease activity. Moreover, pathogenesis of SS is closed to that of Systemic lupus erythematosus, where Belimumab has been proven to be effective.

Detailed description

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by an increase in BAFF (BLyS) levels and a resulting B cell hyperactivity. B cells are involved in the pathogenesis of SS in both systemic and glandular features, and B cell downregulation may lead to a decrease of disease activity. Moreover, pathogenesis of SS is closed to that of Systemic lupus erythematosus, where Belimumab has been proven to be effective. This phase II open-label study has 2 mains objectives: * To evaluate the proof of concept of efficacy of belimumab in subjects with SS * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of belimumab in subjects with SS Belimumab will be administered (10mg/kg on D0 D14 D28 and every 28 days for 24 weeks, with extension to 48 weeks if responders) to all patients
