Treatment of non-systemic Sjögren's syndrome: Potential prevention of systematization with immunosuppressant agent/biotherapy

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune pathology manifested mainly by a dry syndrome, intense asthenia and arthromyalgia. Systemic manifestations may also occur. Since 2019, immunosuppressant agents (IS) or biotherapies are recommended only for patients with systemic involvement. Howe...

Zusammenfassung:Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune pathology manifested mainly by a dry syndrome, intense asthenia and arthromyalgia. Systemic manifestations may also occur. Since 2019, immunosuppressant agents (IS) or biotherapies are recommended only for patients with systemic involvement. However, before 2019, in some cases, paucisymptomatic patients had been treated with IS/biotherapies, often off-label. Objective: We propose to evaluate the benefit and safety of using IS/biotherapy in patients with SS without systemic involvement. Methods: We retrospectively collected the clinical records of all patients with SS diagnosed according to ACR/EULAR diagnostic criteria followed up between January 1980 and October 2023 at Grenoble University Hospital (France). Results: Eighty-three patients were included: 64 with an initially non-systemic form. Of these patients with an initially non-systemic form, 24 were treated with IS/biotherapy. None of them developed secondary systematization, whereas 11 out of 40 patients in the untreated group did (p
