Understanding Sjogren's Disease
This study aims to better understand Sjogren's Disease, a condition that causes dry eyes and dry mouth, and can affect other parts of the body. Researchers want to learn how the disease starts and how it progresses in patients. There are no specific interventions or drugs being tested in this study. Instead, researchers will follow people with Sjogren's Disease and healthy individuals over time to collect information and samples. The goal is to identify potential markers (biomarkers) that could help in diagnosing and treating the disease in the future. You may be able to join if you are 16 years or older and have a diagnosis of Sjogren's Disease or at least two symptoms of the condition. The study plans to enroll up to 300 participants, but its current status is unclear.
