Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of Deucravacitinib in adult participants with Active Sjögren's Syndrome.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

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.

What makes the drug Deucravacitinib unique for treating Sjögren's Syndrome?

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.

SOTYKTUTM (Deucravacitinib 6-mg Tablets)- A New Agent for the Management of Adult Plaque Psoriasis. [2023]SOTYKTUTM (deucravacitinib) is a newly approved oral agent for managing moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. Deucravacitinib is a highly selective allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor targeting dysregulated cytokine responses in psoriasis patients. Its efficacy was demonstrated in two randomized, placebo- and active comparator-controlled phase 3 trials, where a significantly higher proportion of patients, up to 58.4% (194/332), achieved lessening of symptoms at week 16. The recommended dosing regimen of deucravacitinib is 6 mg once daily. More frequent adverse reactions occurring in the deucravacitinib-treated patients include upper respiratory infection (19.2% [161/840]), increase in blood creatine phosphokinase (2.7% [23/840]), herpes simplex infection (2.0% [17/840]), mouth ulcers (1.9% [16/840]), folliculitis (1.7% [14/840]), and acne (1.4% [12/840]). Continuance of treatment for up to week 52 did not increase the exposure-adjusted rates of adverse reactions. The selectivity and specificity of deucravacitinib treatment may improve its long-term safety profile, compared to other Janus kinase inhibitors.
Efficacy and safety of remibrutinib, a selective potent oral BTK inhibitor, in Sjögren's syndrome: results from a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial. [2023]To evaluate the safety and efficacy of remibrutinib in patients with moderate-to-severe Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) in a phase 2 randomised, double-blind trial (NCT04035668; LOUiSSE (LOU064 in Sjögren's Syndrome) study).
First-in-human study of deucravacitinib: A selective, potent, allosteric small-molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2. [2023]This randomized, double-blind, single- and multiple-ascending dose study assessed the pharmacokinetics (PKs), pharmacodynamics, and safety of deucravacitinib (Sotyktu™), a selective and potent small-molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2, in 100 (75 active, 25 placebo) healthy volunteers (NCT02534636). Deucravacitinib was rapidly absorbed, with a half-life of 8-15 h, and 1.4-1.9-fold accumulation after multiple dosing. Deucravacitinib inhibited interleukin (IL)-12/IL-18-induced interferon (IFN)γ production ex vivo in a dose- and concentration-dependent manner. Following in vivo challenge with IFNα-2a, deucravacitinib demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of lymphocyte count decreases and expression of 53 IFN-regulated genes. There were no serious adverse events (AEs); the overall frequency of AEs was similar in the deucravacitinib (64%) and placebo (68%) groups. In this first-in-human study, deucravacitinib inhibited IL-12/IL-23 and type I IFN pathways in healthy volunteers, with favorable PK and safety profiles. Deucravacitinib is a promising therapeutic option for immune-mediated diseases, including Crohn's disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Deucravacitinib: First Approval. [2022]Deucravacitinib (SOTYKTU™) is a first-in-class, highly selective, oral tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor. It acts via an allosteric mechanism, binding to the catalytically inactive pseudokinase regulatory domain of TYK2 and stabilizing an inhibitory interaction between the regulatory and catalytic domains. Deucravacitinib is being developed by Bristol Myers Squibb for the treatment of multiple immune-mediated diseases, including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus and inflammatory bowel disease. It received its first approval (in the USA on 9 September 2022) for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. On 26 September 2022, it was subsequently approved in Japan for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, generalized pustular psoriasis and erythrodermic psoriasis. The Marketing Authorisation Application for deucravacitinib for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis has been validated in the EU, and clinical development of the drug for the treatment of multiple immune-mediated diseases is underway in numerous countries worldwide. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of deucravacitinib leading to this first approval for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
A phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept study of oral seletalisib in primary Sjögren's syndrome. [2021]This phase 2 proof-of-concept study (NCT02610543) assessed efficacy, safety and effects on salivary gland inflammation of seletalisib, a potent and selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, in patients with moderate-to-severe primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS).
