Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that causes dry mouth and dry eyes. Could
it be possible for patients with sjogren's to respond to medications used to treat other
autoimmune disorders? I'm Sonia Singh for the dailyRX news network.
A recent study administered either Rituxan, a medication sometimes used with rheumatoid
arthritis patients, or a fake medication to a group of Sjogren's patients. The study found
that rituxan did not alleviate symptoms or disease activity of Sjogren's syndrome after
24 weeks.
