What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in European League Against Rheumatism Sjogren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) Score at Day 99

    The European League Against Rheumatism Sjogren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) is a clinical index that measures Sjogren's syndrome disease activity. A physician scores the disease activity level of 12 organ-specific domains (constitutional, lymphadenopathy, articular, muscular, cutaneous, glandular, pulmonary, renal, peripheral nervous system, central nervous system, hematological, and biological). Each domain is assessed for activity level in 3 or 4 levels (i.e., no, low, moderate, high) according to their severity (no disease activity equals to 0 and for high disease activity the domain score equals 3 or 4). Each domain is assigned a weight between 1 and 6, and the domain score is multiplied by the domain weight. Overall score is calculated as sum of all individual weighted domain scores (ranges from 0 (best) to 123 (worst activity). A higher score indicates worsening of the disease. Adjusted mean change and standard error are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 predose) and Day 99

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Ratio to Baseline in Peripheral Blood Biomarkers at Day 99

    The peripheral blood biomarkers included total plasma cell levels (including plasma blast levels) and T follicular helper (TFH) cells. Adjusted geometric mean ratio to baseline and standard error (log) are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 predose) and Day 99

  2. Ratio to Baseline in Minor Salivary Gland Tissue Biomarkers at Day 99

    The minor salivary gland biopsy biomarkers included total plasma cell levels, CD4/ inducible T-cell costimulator (ICOS) TFH cells, and PD-1/ICOS TFH cells. Adjusted geometric mean ratio to baseline and standard error (log) are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 predose) and Day 99

  3. Ratio to Baseline in Focus Score at Day 99

    The focus score is a semi-quantitative assessment of focal lymphocytic sialoadenitis, which is defined as the presence of >= 1 dense aggregate of 50 or more lymphocytes in a 4 mm2 area. Higher numbers are associated with more inflammation.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 predose) and Day 99

  4. Change From Baseline in European League Against Rheumatism Sjogren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) Score at Day 99

    The European League Against Rheumatism Sjogren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) is a patient-reported, subjective symptom index for primary Sjögren's syndrome. It consists of three questions covering the cardinal symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome: dryness, fatigue and pain (articular and/or muscular). Each domain scored on scale of 0-10 (0 =no symptom at all and 10 = worst symptom imaginable), and an overall score is calculated as the mean of the three individual domains where all domains carry the same weight. Adjusted mean change and standard error are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 predose) and Day 99

  5. Percentage of ESSDAI Responders at Day 99

    The ESSDAI is a clinical index that measures Sjogren's syndrome disease activity. A physician scores the disease activity level of 12 organ-specific domains (constitutional, lymphadenopathy, articular, muscular, cutaneous, glandular, pulmonary, renal, peripheral nervous system, central nervous system, hematological, and biological). Each domain is assessed for activity level in 3 or 4 levels (no, low, moderate, high) according to their severity (0=no disease activity and ¾ = high disease activity of the domain). Each domain is assigned a weight between 1 and 6, and the domain score is multiplied by the domain weight. Overall score is calculated as sum of all individual weighted domain scores (ranges from 0 [best] to 123 [worst activity]). Participants are considered to be an ESSDAI[x] responder as they achieved a reduction of x points or more in ESSDAI score, did not prematurely discontinue the study drug, and did not receive prohibited concomitant medications.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1 predose) and Day 99

  6. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs were collected from Day 1 (postdose) until Day 99 for 'Placebo' arm and Day 296 for 'Any MEDI5872 210 mg' arm that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state.

    Measured: Placebo arm: Day 1 (postdose) through Day 99 (predose); Any MEDI5872 210 mg arm: Day 1 (postdose) through Day 296 for MEDI5872 210 mg arm, and Day 99 (postdose) through Day 296 for participants who received placebo at double-blind period

  7. Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

    An AESI (serious or non-serious) was one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of study drug and may have required close monitoring and rapid communication by investigator to the sponsor. The AESIs for this study were hepatic function abnormality meeting the definition of Hy's law, new or reactivated tuberculosis infection, malignancy, and hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions. Treatment-emergent AESIs were collected from Day 1 (postdose) until Day 99 for 'Placebo' arm and Day 296 for 'Any MEDI5872 210 mg' arm.

    Measured: Placebo arm: Day 1 (postdose) through Day 99 (predose); Any MEDI5872 210 mg arm: Day 1 (postdose) through Day 296 for MEDI5872 210 mg arm, and Day 99 (postdose) through Day 296 for participants who received placebo at double-blind period
