What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of various classification criteria for primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) against a gold standard established by expert physicians. It is a single-center, prospective intervention that will collect clinical, biological, and imaging data from patients suspected of having pSS. Participants will be monitored over a period of up to 10 years, with samples of blood, fluid, cells, and urine collected at specified intervals. Additionally, non-Sjögren controls will also be followed to compare findings.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults suspected of having primary Sjögren syndrome based on clinical or biological criteria.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or lactating, or those who refuse to participate, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the accuracy of diagnosing primary Sjögren syndrome, leading to better patient management.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on Sjögren syndrome, this specific approach to evaluating diagnostic criteria against expert assessments is relatively novel.
