What this trial studies

The ASSESS national multi-center prospective cohort aims to evaluate the evolution and systemic complications of patients with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (pSS) over a 20-year period. This observational study includes patients who meet the American-European Consensus Criteria for pSS and collects data on various systemic complications and predictors of lymphoma. Conducted across 15 centers in France, the study utilizes standardized case report forms filled out by clinicians annually. The cohort has previously followed 395 patients for 5 years, and the extension will continue to gather valuable insights into the disease's progression.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 years or older who have been diagnosed with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome and have previously participated in the ASSESS study.

Not a fit: Patients with secondary Sjögren's Syndrome associated with other autoimmune diseases will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights into the long-term management and potential complications of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome, improving patient care.

How similar studies have performed: Previous cohorts in rheumatology have shown success in assessing similar conditions, indicating that this approach is both validated and valuable.
