Resolve Therapeutics Publishes Positive Sjogren's Syndrome Clinical Trial Results

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Resolve Therapeutics, pioneering first-in-class, targeted, safe therapies for underserved autoimmune diseases, today announced publication of results from its Phase 2 study of RSLV-132 for the treatment of primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS). The work was published in the leading rheumatology journal, Arthritis and Rheumatology (doi.org/10.1002/art.41489). The Phase 2 study demonstrated a clinically meaningful improvement in four separate, independent, validated measures of fatigue in the RSLV-132 group, but not the placebo group.

"Up to 75% of pSS patients report profound fatigue as the most debilitating aspect of pSS, so we are pleased that RSLV-132 was able to significantly improve fatigue in this study," said James Posada, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Resolve Therapeutics. "These results represent a potential step forward in the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome, Resolve will confirm the finding in a large Phase 3 study starting in early 2021."

About Sjogren's Syndrome

Sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects women, an estimated 4,000,000 American women suffer from the disease. Sjogren's damages the salivary glands causing dry mouth, the lacrimal glands causing dry eyes, and the chronic systemic inflammation causes profound, debilitating fatigue. There is no cure for Sjogren's and no approved therapy. Effective, safe therapy is urgently needed to address this unmet medical need.
