NCT02149420 PD of VAY736 in Patients With Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Phase 2 Interventional Novartis Results from this trial were published in 2019 [1]. These showed that a single infusion of ianalumab produced a significant and sustained depletion of B cells, which was consistent with potential clinical efficacy. The most significant benefit observed in patients who received ianalumab was a reduction in fatigue, a symptom of primary Sjögren's syndrome that is often resistant to other treatments. No major side effects were reported.
