Brief summary

The selected primary outcome measure is the Composite of Relevant Endpoints for Sjögren’s Syndrome (CRESS) response at week 24.​ The CRESS is a recently developed composite endpoint which consists of five clinically relevant items for pSS: a systemic disease activity, patient-reported symptoms, tear gland, salivary gland and serology item. A CRESS responder is someone who reached response on at least three out of five items.
