About this study

Primary Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily involves exocrine glands, most commonly manifested in dry eye, dry mouth, and in other systems of the body.

Read the detailed description

Patients usually first seek for the ophthalmologist for severe dry eye symptoms, and most clinicians are ill-informed about Sjögren's syndrome dry eye disease (SS-DED), which can lead to missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses. Clinically, there are not many types of patients with pSS and the number of in-depth studies is small. Meanwhile, there are no specific drugs for the treatment of SS-DED, and most patients need to be treated with multiple methods to understand which methods are most effective. In this study, by establishing a clinical cohort of patients with different subtypes of dry eye with pSS, we explored the association between the primary organs affected by pSS and various biomarkers related to tear fluid and blood, and the association between the primary organs affected by pSS, tear components and blood markers and the severity of ocular involvement, symptom progression and prognosis. This study initially constructs a special cohort of patients with pSS ocular involvement, which may explain its pathogenesis from a new perspective in diagnose, classification and treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ESSDAI

    Fill out the scale

    Measured: 2021.1~2028.1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Schirmer

    The Schirmer I test was performed without topical anesthesia after all other examinations by slit lamp had been completed at least 15 minutes to avoid any effect of keratoconjunctival staining. A Schirmer test strip (Liaoning Meizilin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) was placed on the outer one third of the temporal lower conjunctival fornix for 5 min. The strip was then removed, and the length of the wet filter paper was recorded in millimeters.

    Measured: 2021.1~2028.1

  2. BUT,TMH

    All participants were instilled a minimal volume fluorescein into the inferior temporal tear meniscus by fluorescein sodium ophthalmic test paper (Liaoning Meizilin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) for the evaluation of tear menicus height (TMH) and fluorescein tear break-up time (FBUT) during slit lamp examination. Then, patients were asked to blink several times to ensure adequate mixing of the fluorescein dye with the tears. Under the cobalt blue light of the slit lamp microscope, TMH were recorded and the time interval between the last complete blink and the appearance of the first corneal dark spot was timed using a stopwatch. The average of three measurements was recorded as the FBUT.

    Measured: 2021.1~2028.1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dry Eye, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yun Feng, PhD (13911572425, superjune@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ESSDAI (time frame: 2021.1~2028.1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Nov 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
