11) Another highly active inflammatory/autoimmune/rheumatic disease (such as highly active RA, highly active SLE, highly active nephritis or CNS inflammation) which would compromise subject safety or interfere with the conduct of the study.
12) History of head/neck irradiation, sarcoidosis, graft v host disease, or IgG4 related disease
13) Female subjects who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during the study up to 36 days after the last dose of study drug or males who are planning to father a child during the study up to 90 days after the last dose of study drug

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects fulfilling protocol-specified response criteria at Week 12, as compared to baseline.
Response is defined as follows: For subjects with elevated hsCRP (defined as ≥ 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN) of hsCRP) at Day 1, subjects are considered to be a responder if they achieve all of the following :
- ≥ 20% improvement in hsCRP
- ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 out of 5 subject reported, SjS related visual analog scales (VAS; subject’s assessment of global disease, pain, oral dryness, ocular dryness and fatigue)
- no worsening (defined as > 30 mm increase from baseline) in any of the above VAS
For subjects without elevated hsCRP (< 1.5 ULN of hsCRP) at Day 1, subjects are considered to be a responder if achieve all of the following:
- no increase ≥ 1.5 ULN of hsCRP
- ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 out of 5 subject reported, SjS related VAS (subject’s assessment of global disease, pain, oral dryness, ocular dryness and fatigue)
- no worsening (defined as > 30 mm increase from baseline) in any of the above VAS |
