  • Therapies in mid-to-late-stage development for Sjogren's syndrome focus on a wide variety of targets. The pipeline drugs for Sjogren's syndrome are administered via the oral, intravenous, and subcutaneous routes.
  • High-impact upcoming events for drugs in the Sjogren's syndrome space comprise topline Phase II trial results for GS-9876, and Phase IIa trial results for prezalumab and UCB5857.
