The ESSDAI is a systemic disease activity index for SS, assessing 12 domains (Constitutional, Salivary Glands, Lungs, Kidneys, Musculoskeletal, Peripheral Nervous System, Central Nervous System, Vascular, Gastrointestinal, Hematological, Ocular, and Extraglandular Manifestations). Each domain is graded for activity (0 = no activity to 3 = high activity) and weighted (1 for Biological to 6 for Muscular) based on its clinical significance, with the final score calculated as the sum of all weighted domain scores. The theoretical range is 0 to 123, with disease activity categorized as low (\<5), moderate (5-13), and high (≥14). A positive change form baseline represents an increase in symptoms.

The ESSPRI is a self-assessment tool for evaluating symptoms of dryness, fatigue, and pain (articular and/or muscular) in SS. Participants rate each of the three domains on a 0-10 numerical scale (0 = no; 10 maximal imaginable severity). All domains are equally weighted, and the total score is the mean of the three domain scores. The maximum total score for the ESSPRI assessment is 10. A positive change form baseline represents an increase in symptoms.

The DAS28-CRP is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28-CRP range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement in disease activity. Results are from a mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis with treatment, visit, visit by treatment interaction, and baseline DAS28-CRP score included in the model.

Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of an intervention in humans, whether or not it is considered intervention-related. Serious adverse event (SAE): an AE that results in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening AE; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; other important medical event jeopardizing the participant's well-being. AEs of special interest (AESIs) include: thrombotic and embolic events; anaphylaxis and clinically significant (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] Grade 3 or higher) hypersensitivity reactions; severe infusion-related reactions (CTCAE Grade 3 or higher); immune complex disease; severe (CTCAE Grade 3 or higher) and/or opportunistic infections; hepatic function abnormality meeting the definition of Hy's Law; malignant neoplasm. (CTCAE Grade 3=Severe; Grade 4=Life-threatening; Grade 5=Fatal.)

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Serious adverse event is any AE that resulted in death, life threatening, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in offspring of a study participant, is an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical intervention. TEAEs are defined as events present at baseline that worsened in intensity after administration of study drug or events absent at baseline that emerged after administration of study drug.

An AESI (serious or non-serious) is one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of study drug and may have required close monitoring, collection of additional information by investigator and rapid communication by investigator to the sponsor.
