This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Quadruple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Nipocalimab
Participants will receive nipocalimab subcutaneously (SC) along with standard of care treatments. At the Week 48 visit, eligible participants from both studies will have the option to enter an open-label long-term extension (OLE) phase, where they will continue to receive nipocalimab until Week 143 or until the study intervention is discontinued and participants opt to withdraw from the study.
Nipocalimab SC.
Other Names:
  • JNJ-80202135, JNJ-86507083, M281
Protocol-defined topical and systemic standard of care background treatments.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants will receive placebo subcutaneously along with standard of care treatments. At the Week 48 visit, eligible participants from both studies will have the option to enter an OLE phase, where they will receive nipocalimab until Week 143 or until the study intervention is discontinued and participants opt to withdraw from the study.
Protocol-defined topical and systemic standard of care background treatments.
Placebo SC.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Clinical European League Against Rheumatism Sjogren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ClinESSDAI) Score at Week 48
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
ClinESSDAI is a validated tool used in clinical studies to measure the systemic disease activity in participants with SjD. The ClinESSDAI includes 11 domains divided into 3-4 activity levels, where zero represents no activity and low, medium, and high scores can vary in numerical value depending on the domain being measured. A higher score represents worse disease symptoms.
Baseline to Week 48

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Improvement from Baseline in Minimal Clinically Important Improvement (MCII) in ClinESSDAI Score at Week 48
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
The ClinESSDAI is a validated tool used in clinical studies to measure the systemic disease activity in participants with Sjogren's syndrome.
Baseline to Week 48
Improvement from Baseline in ClinESSDAI Score at Week 48 in Participants with High Immunoglobulin (IgG) Levels at Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
ClinESSDAI is a validated tool used in clinical studies to measure the systemic disease activity in participants with SjD.
Baseline to Week 48
Change from Baseline in ClinESSDAI Score at Week 8
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8
ClinESSDAI is a validated tool used in clinical studies to measure the systemic disease activity in participants with SjD.
Baseline to Week 8
Change from Baseline in Stimulated Salivary Flow Rate at Week 48
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
Stimulated salivary flow is considered a reliable and objective method to evaluate glandular function in SjD patients.
Baseline to Week 48
Change from Baseline in Sjogren's Symptoms Dryness Score at Week 48
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
Participants will be asked to report the worst severity of their dryness symptoms on a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale (NRS), with score 0 indicating "No [specific symptom]" and score 10 indicating "Severe [specific symptom]". Higher scores reflect greater symptom severity. Change from baseline in Sjogren's Symptoms dryness score at Week 48 for US, US reference regions, and other non-US regions will be reported.
Baseline to Week 48
Change from Baseline in Sjogren's Symptoms Joint Pain Score at Week 48
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
Participants will be asked to report the worst severity of their joint pain symptoms on a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale (NRS), with score 0 indicating "No [specific symptom]" and score 10 indicating "Severe [specific symptom]". Higher scores reflect greater symptom severity. Change from baseline in Sjogren's Symptoms joint pain score at Week 48 for US, US reference regions, and other non-US regions will be reported.
Baseline to Week 48
Change from Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue (FACIT) Fatigue Score at Week 48
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
FACIT-Fatigue version 4.0 is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses participant-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function over the past 7 days. Participants will be asked to answer each question using a 5-point Likert scale (0=Not at all; 1=A little bit; 2=Somewhat; 3=Quite a bit; and 4=Very much). FACIT-Fatigue has a total score range from 0 to 52, with 0 being the worst possible score and 52 the best.
Baseline to Week 48
Change from Baseline in EULAR Sjogren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) Score At Week 48
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48
ESSPRI is a participant-reported assessment of the severity of dryness, fatigue, and pain associated with primary Sjogren's Syndrome. Participants are asked to rate the severity of dryness, fatigue, and pain on a 0 to 10 NRS, with score 0 indicating "No [specific symptom]" and score 10 indicating "Severe [specific symptom]". A global score, calculated as the mean of the 3 domain scores, ranges from 0 to 10, with higher scores reflecting greater (worse) symptom severity. Change from baseline in Sjogren's Symptoms score at Week 48 for EU, UK & EU reference regions will be reported.
Baseline to Week 48
