摘要
Published studies and trials of oral and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs for the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome have shown disappointing results. Improvements in trial design, including development of consortia for the conduct of national and international multicenter studies and use of standardized classification and outcome measures coupled with the emergence of newer biologic, immunomodulatory, and small molecule agents, hopefully will result in the addition of disease-modifying agents to the armamentarium.
