R-2487 in Patients With Sjogren's Syndrome (SS)

Phase 1

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Sjögren; Sjogren's Syndrome; Sjögren Syndrome, Unspecified
• Interventions: Drug: R-2487

• Registration Number: NCT06297213
• Lead Sponsor: Rise Therapeutics LLC

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of orally taken probiotic (R-2487) in patients with Sjogren's Syndrome.

Patients will take an oral dosage of probiotic (R-2487) and physicians will assess and measure their Sjogren's Syndrome. Blood and fecal evaluations of inflammation and assessment of probiotic (R-2487) on fecal level will also be measured.

• Any form of vaccination in the last 30 days, to include but not limited to influenza, COVID, shingles, tetanus, hepatitis, pneumonia, HPV, DPT, MMR, and polio.
• Subjects should not receive any of the following medications:

Rituximab or belimumab within 6 months prior to Day 1 Abatacept within 3 months prior to Day 1 Infliximab, Adalimumab, Certolizumab, Tocilizumab, Cyclosporine, or Mycophenolate mofetil within 2 months prior to Day 1 Etanercept, Anakinra, Immunoglobulin, or blood products within 28 days prior to Day 1

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Open Label	R-2487	Probiotic

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Incidence and severity of adverse events and their relationship to R-2487 (probiotic) administration	Baseline through Week 4	To assess the number of participants with treatment-related adverse events after taking R-2487 (probiotic)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Patient reported general health questionnaire Short Form Health Survey-36(SF-36)	Baseline through week 4	Baseline Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) Score over time. The Baseline Short Form Health Survey is the numerical sum of 36 patient reported outcome parameters of quality of life. The higher the score the more favorable the reflection of the quality of life.
Change in disease activity through Clinical European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ClinESSDAI)	Baseline through Week 4	Change from Baseline in Disease Activity Score at Week 4 to assess the disease severity of Sjogren's syndrome using data without laboratory results
