Deucravacitinib for Sjögren's Syndrome
(POETYK SjS-1 Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Deucravacitinib is unique because it is a first-in-class, highly selective oral inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), which works by stabilizing an inhibitory interaction within the enzyme, potentially offering a novel approach for treating immune-mediated diseases like Sjögren's Syndrome.
