<h3>Objectives</h3> To analyze the clinical phenotype of primary Sjögren syndrome (SjS) with focal lymphocytic sialadenitis (FLS) without Ro autoantibodies (FLS+/Ro-). <h3>Methods</h3> The International Big Data Sjögren Project was designed in 2014 to take a "high-definition" picture of the primary SjS at diagnosis (2002 criteria) by merging international databases. 2716 FLS+/Ro- patients were compared with 8315 Ro+ patients <h3>Results</h3> FLS+/Ro- patients were predominantly White (82% vs 77%), had a higher frequency of oral (97% vs 92%) and ocular (95% vs 91%) dryness, a lower frequency of ANA (60% vs 87%), hypocomplementemia (13% vs 23%), rheumatoid factor (26% vs 56%), cryoglobulins (5% vs 9%), a lower mean ESSDAI score (4.6 vs 6.6), and a lower systemic activity in the constitutional, lymphadenopatic, glandular, cutaneous, renal, hematological and biological domains (p&lt;0.001 for all comparisons). Abnormal salivary flows and ANA remained significant independent variables after adjustment by age and gender. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Biopsy-proven primary SjS with negative anti-Ro antibodies is characterized by high frequency of sicca symptoms, mild immunological profile and low systemic activity. <h3>Disclosure of Interests</h3> Soledad Retamozo: None declared, Nihan Acar-Denizli: None declared, Wan Fai Ng: None declared, Ildiko Fanny Horváth: None declared, Astrid Rasmussen: None declared, Raphaèle Seror Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Consultant for: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Amgen, Eli Lilly, Roche, Celgene, GlaxoSmithKline, MedImmune, Xiaomei Li: None declared, Chiara Baldini: None declared, Jacques-Eric Gottenberg Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Consultant for: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Lilly, Pfizer, Sanofi-Genzyme, UCB Pharma, Consultant for: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, UCB, Sanofi-Genzyme, Pfizer, Pulukool Sandhya: None declared, Luca Quartuccio: None declared, Roberta Priori: None declared, Gabriela Hernandez-Molina: None declared, Berkan Armagan: None declared, Aike A.
