No new treatments unfortunately.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

No curative agents for Sjögren syndrome exist. The treatment of the disorder is essentially symptomatic. My research does not yield any new treatments. The currently available treatments are summarized in the following link:
