Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Participants eligible for inclusion in this study must meet all of the following criteria:

1. Participants must have participated in the TWINSS core study, CCFZ533B2201
(NCT03905525), and must have completed the entire treatment period up to Week 48 and
the follow-up period up to Week 60

2. Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the Extension study
(i.e. before commencement of the Week 60 assessments of the core study)

3. In the judgement of the Investigator, participants must be expected to clinically
benefit from continued iscalimab therapy
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
90 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Participants meeting any of the following criteria are not eligible for inclusion in this
study.

1. Sjögren's Syndrome overlap syndromes where another autoimmune rheumatic disease
constitutes the principle illness, specifically:

- Moderate-to-severe active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with anti-dsDNA
positivity and renal involvement, or other organ involvement that impedes on
ability to score ESSDAI domains

- Active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that impedes on the ability to score the ESSDAI
articular domain

- Systemic sclerosis

- Any other concurrent connective tissue disease (e.g., lupus nephritis (LN), large
vessel vasculitis (LVV), Sharp syndrome (mixed connective tissue disease) that is
active and requires immunosuppressive treatment outside the scope of this trial
and would impede on Sjögren's Syndrome organ domain assessments

2. Use of other investigational drugs other than iscalimab during the core study

3. Active uncontrolled viral, bacterial or other infections requiring systemic treatment
at the time of enrollment, or history of recurrent clinically significant infection or
of bacterial infections with encapsulated organisms

4. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a
female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a
positive human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) laboratory test

5. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP), defined as all women physiologically capable
of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception
during dosing and for 14 weeks after stopping of investigational drug.

6. Missing ESSDAI (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2) or ESSPRI (Cohort 2) scores in the core study
at Weeks 0 and 4 or Weeks 40 and 48.

Brief summary
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of iscalimab at two dose levels in
patients with Sjögren's Syndrome, who participated in the TWINSS core study,
