A Longitudinal, Observational Biomarker Study in Participants With Primary Sjogren's Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main objective of the study is to characterize the gene expression in immune and epithelial cells in salivary gland biopsy samples and blood of pSS (primary Sjögren's syndrome) and non-pSS participants including healthy volunteers.
