Amgen to unveil Phase 3 Sjögren’s disease data at ACR Convergence 2026

Amgen will present late‑breaking results from the Phase 3 OASIZ‑301 trial of dazodalibep in adults with moderate‑to‑severe Sjögren’s disease at the American College of Rheumatology Convergence 2026. The study met its primary endpoint, showing a statistically significant reduction in systemic disease activity and a meaningful improvement in patient‑reported dryness versus placebo. The data will be shown in a late‑breaking abstract on 11 Nov 2026, alongside additional long‑term and real‑world evidence for UPLIZNA, KRYSTEXXA and TAVNEOS.

The company says the topline results demonstrate a potential first‑in‑class therapy for a disease with no approved treatments, which could expand Amgen’s autoimmune portfolio and drive future sales. Investors should watch for regulatory filing plans and any impact on Amgen’s pipeline valuation.

  • 1The OASIZ‑301 trial enrolled approximately 621 patients, with 217 receiving dazodalibep 1,500 mg intravenously every four weeks, 217 receiving 3,000 mg intravenously every 12 weeks, and 214 receiving placebo.
  • 2Patients entered the study with an average ESSDAI score of 10.2.
  • 3At Week 48, the four‑week regimen reduced ESSDAI by a least‑squares mean change of –5.6 points versus –3.8 for placebo (difference –1.8, p < 0.001).
  • 4The twelve‑week regimen reduced ESSDAI by a least‑squares mean change of –5.2 points versus –3.8 for placebo (difference –1.4, p = 0.010).
  • 5The four‑week regimen improved patient‑reported dryness, with ESSPRI dryness score changing –2.50 versus –1.33 for placebo (p < 0.001).
  • 6Adverse‑event rates were similar across all treatment arms.
