What this Trial Is About
There are no approved treatments for pSS and the clinical endpoints currently used in clinical trials are inadequate to capture all aspects of the disease that should be evaluated in clinical trials. The newly developed composite endpoint: Sjögren's Tool for Assessing Response to treatment (STAR) will allow a more specific and meaningful assessment of treatment efficacy in pSS. Because of the heterogeneity of the disease and of the central role of the interplay between B- and T-cells in the pathogenesis, it is worth to evaluate combination of conventional synthetic immunomodulatory drugs targeting both B- and T-cells.

- With a high level of symptoms (ESSPRI ≥ 5) and low systemic disease activity (ESSDAI < 5).
- Negative pregnancy test (serum at screening)
- Use highly reliable contraception during research treatment from the screening and for two years after stopping treatment.
- Cohort 2
- Having given written informed consent prior to undertaking any study-related procedures.
- Patients with pSS according to ACR/EULAR 2016 criteria or AECG 2002 criteria
- With moderate/high systemic disease activity, as defined by ESSDAI ≥ 5.

- Use highly reliable contraception during research treatment from the screening and for two years after stopping treatment
You will not qualify if you...
- For both cohorts:
- Age < 18 years
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women or women wanted to conceive either during or within two years after the end of the treatment period
- Women of childbearing potential not using highly effective methods of contraception (as defined in section 6.3)
- Participation in another interventional trial
- Contra-indication to HCQ: pre-existing retinopathy, hypersensitivity to HCQ or to any of the excipients of the specialty used
- Contra-indication to MMF: hypersensitivity to mycophenolate mofetil, acid mycophenolic, mycophenolate sodium or to any of the excipients of the specialty used
- Contra-indication tor LEF: hypersensitivity to the active substance, the main active metabolite teriflunomide or to any excipients of the specialty used.
- Concomitant treatment with corticosteroids more than 10 mg/day of prednisone equivalent at screening or inclusion (randomisation)
- Concomitant treatment with other immunomodulators including methotrexate, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine and tacrolimus
- Previous treatment with HCQ, LEF, MMF in the last 3 months
- Previous treatment with rituximab, other B-cell targeted biologic therapy or cyclophosphamide in the last 6 months
- Previous treatment with anti-TNF, abatacept, tocilizumab or belimumab or any other biologic in the setting of a past clinical trial in the last 3 months
- Severe life-threatening systemic involvement requiring cyclophosphamide or high dose corticosteroids, or any drug considered as an exclusion criteria
- Impairment of other severe immunodeficiency states
- Patients with active malignancy or history of malignancy within the last 5 years except non-melanoma skin cancer
