Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/13/2017 -- Sjogren's syndrome is an inflammatory disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltrates in exocrine organs, primarily in lacrimal and salivary glands, resulting in classic sicca symptoms of dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (xerophthalmia). Etiology of the disorder is unknown though finding suggests interaction between innate immunity and acquired immunity may lead to develop Sjogren's syndrome. Worldwide, it affects one to two million people. In the U.S. Sjogren's syndrome is the second most common rheumatic disorder. This disorder can affect individuals of any age, but it is most common in elderly people (prevalence of about 3% above the age of 50?years). It affects primarily women as compared to men. The disorder segmented into primary and secondary. The disorder that occurs in the absence of other autoimmune disease, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or scleroderma is known as primary Sjogren's syndrome. The one that occurs due to presence of other autoimmune diseases is known as secondary Sjogren's syndrome.

The Sjogren's syndrome market is growing as no single therapy is approved for both primary and secondary Sjogren's syndrome. Most of the treatment for Sjogren's syndrome is aimed at relieving symptoms such as dry mouth (saliva stimulants), gastric reflux (proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers), infection (antifungals), and dry eyes (artificial tears). Corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents are also used for the treatment of this disorder. Researchers such as Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Biogen Inc. are now evaluating biological therapies for the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome. In addition, therapeutics such as abatacept and belimumab are under clinical development. As of March 2017, clinical pipeline of Sjogren's syndrome consists of 42 drug molecules, out of which 38% are biologics, 35% are small molecules, 10% are fusion protein, and 16% are others (protein, peptide, recombinant protein, and devices).
