Sjogren’s syndrome: Understanding

Sjogren’s syndrome: Overview

Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a specific predisposition for causing inflammation of the exocrine glands, predominantly the salivary and lacrimal glands, including the nose, upper respiratory tract, oropharynx, and, in women, the vagina. In SS, the immune system inappropriately attacks various cells, leading to activation of the various pathways, and resulting in inflammation. The main consequence of this inflammation is the development of sicca symptoms due to damage to the salivary and tear glands, such as dryness of the mucosal surfaces, principally in the mouth and eyes. If cytokines, chemokines and autoantibodies are expressed by the epithelium of the exocrine glands: Increased levels of cytokines, chemokine, and autoantibodies expressed by the epithelium of the exocrine glands (such as the salivary and lacrimal glands) lead to chronic inflammation and the eventual loss of their physiological functions.

SS is mainly classified into two types: primary SS and secondary SS. Primary SS occurs in the absence of another original rheumatic disorder. In contrast, secondary SS is related to another underlying rheumatic disease or systemic autoimmune disease (mainly systemic lupus erythematosus [SLE], rheumatoid arthritis [RA], or scleroderma) and is rarely used in patients with concomitant organ-specific autoimmune diseases. However, this terminology is under debate, and standardized guidelines to differentiate them are currently lacking. In fact, the distinction between primary and secondary (or associated) SS reflects only the frequently reported clinical situation of the coexistence or overlap of SS in patients with other autoimmune diseases. However, either ‘primary’ or ‘secondary’ patients receive the same therapeutic management.

The characteristic lesion of Sjogren’s syndrome is focal lymphocytic sialadenitis (FLS). FLS is a lesion of the exocrine glands. Foci of lymphocyte-rich mononuclear cells infiltrate exocrine glandular tissue adjacent to blood vessels and excretory ducts. The foci are comprised predominantly of T lymphocytes. However, B lymphocytes, plasma cells, and other cell types are seen. With a more severe disease, the foci may become confluent. The infiltrating mononuclear cells, humoral factors such as antibodies and cytokines, or both, are hypothesized to cause exocrine gland dysfunction resulting in diminished tear production by the lacrimal glands and diminished saliva production by the salivary glands. Also, exocrine glands outside the head and neck may be involved resulting in skin, tracheobronchial and vaginal dryness as well as lung and kidney dysfunction. Rarely, the malignant transformation of B lymphocytes can result in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Immune complexes may deposit in skin, joints, and other organs, resulting in a systemic vasculitis.

Sjogren syndrome is managed by replacing moisture at affected glandular sites and diminishing the autoimmune response locally as well as systemically. Autologous serum eye drops are a promising modality in the dry-eye treatment. However, their preparation is quite complex and costly and their use should be limited to selected cases, mainly to patients intolerant to artificial tears or with treatment-resistant KCS. Serum drops are totally nonallergenic and have biochemical properties similar to those of normal tears. Furthermore, serum drops support conjunctival epithelium with vitamins, fibronectin and growth factors which may stimulate its proliferation and repair. From this point of view, platelet releasate seems to have a better growth factor concentration and seems to be a promising new treatment for dry eye.

Sjogren’s syndrome Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Sjogren’s syndrome report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Sjogren’s syndrome Emerging Drugs

VAY736: Novartis

VAY736 (ianalumab) is a novel, intravenous, defucosylated, human IgG1/κ monoclonal antibody that targets the human B cell-activating factor (BAFF) of the TNF family. The BAFF receptor is predominantly expressed on B cells and is critically involved in B cell maturation, activation, and survival. VAY736 targets the BAFF receptor and competitively inhibits BAFF binding to BAFF-R, thereby blocking BAFF-R-mediated signaling in B cells. It is also engineered to effectively eliminate B cells from circulation in vivo by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The ADCC activity of ianalumab is greatly enhanced by eliminating fucose residues from the carbohydrate moiety attached to the Fc part of the antibody. The molecule is being developed by Novartis in partnership with MorphoSys as an antibody-based therapy. The drug is currently in Phase III clinical studies for the treatment of Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS).

VIB4920: Horizon Therapeutics

VIB4920 is a fusion protein developed by Horizon therapeutics, designed to bind to CD40L on activated T-cells, blocking their interaction with CD40-expressing B-cells. According to the company, this approach could inhibit the stimulation of dendritic cells and monocytes, thereby reducing the production of molecules that cause inflammation endemic to T- and B-cell-driven diseases. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS).
