Primary Objective:

To evaluate the effect of dazodalibep on systemic manifestations of Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) in participants with moderate-to-severe systemic disease activity.

Secondary Objectives:

1. To evaluate the effect of dazodalibep on patient reported outcomes (PROs) in participants with SS.
2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dazodalibep in participants with SS

Acquired from Horizon in 2024.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) by meeting the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Classification Criteria.
• Have an European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI) score of >= 5 despite symptomatic or local therapy at screening.
• Positive for either anti-Ro autoantibodies or rheumatoid factor (RF), or both at screening (as per the central laboratory test).

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Medical history of confirmed deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or arterial thromboembolism within 2 years of screening.
• Active malignancy or history of malignancy within the last 5 years, except in situ carcinoma of cervix treated with apparent success with curative therapy > 12 months prior to screening OR cutaneous basal cell carcinoma following presumed curative therapy.
• Individuals with any severe or life-threatening cardiovascular (including vasculitis), respiratory, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hematological, psychiatric, or systemic disorder or any other condition that would place the individual at unacceptable risk of complications, interfere with evaluation of the IP, or confound the interpretation of participant safety or study results.
• Individuals who have a positive test for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV infection. A positive test for hepatitis B at screening is defined as: (1) positive for HBsAg OR (2) positive for either HBcAb or HBsAb and HBV DNA detected above the LLOQ by reflex testing by the central laboratory at screening.
• Active TB or untreated (per local guidelines) latent TB
• Individuals with a history of more than one episode of herpes zoster and/or any opportunistic infection in the last 12 months, and active infection requiring systemic treatment at the time of screening or through randomization, or history of more than 2 infections requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics within 12 months prior to screening.
• Individuals who have received a live (attenuated) vaccine within the 4 weeks prior to randomization or plan to receive a live vaccine during their participation in the study.
• Last administration of experimental or investigational biologic or oral agents < 6 months prior to screening.
• Individuals who have had previous treatment with any biologic B-cell-depleting therapy (eg, rituximab, ocrelizumab, inebilizumab, ofatumumab, or ianalumab) within 12 months or other B-cell-targeting therapy (eg, belimumab) < 3 months prior to screening.

De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request.

Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.

Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications.
