Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Efzofitimod in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)-Related Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) (SSc-ILD)

Description

This is a 2-Part study with Part A, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, PoC study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efzofitimod in patients with SSc-ILD. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the PoC for efficacy in a population with SSc-ILD. While improvement of ILD is the outcome of interest, the study will also evaluate changes in the skin. After initial screening (up to 4 weeks), approximately 25 eligible participants will be randomized 2:2:1 to 1 of 2 active (experimental) dose arms or placebo, administered every 4 weeks up to and including Week 20. Part B is an optional open-label extension to Part A in which participants can receive 450 mg efzofitimod every 4 weeks for 6 doses.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Diagnosis of SSc based on ACR/ EULAR criteria (2013)
  • 2. Overall duration of SSc \< 48 months from the first non-Raynaud symptom manifestation OR
  • 1. Any 1 laboratory marker for active disease:
  • * C-reactive protein ≥ 0.6 mg/dL (≥ 6 mg/L)
  • * Erythrocyte sedimentation rate ≥ 28 mm/hr
  • * Platelet count ≥ 330 × 10e9/L (330,000/μL) OR
  • 2. Clinically significant decline in FVC % predicted (%pred) based on ≥ 5% relative decline over the preceding one year OR
  • 3. An increase ≥ 3 in the mRSS over 6 months or less
  • 3. HRCT obtained at the Screening Visit or within the 3 months prior to Screening consistent with SSc-ILD (adjudicated by a central reader) AND with pulmonary involvement \> 10%
  • 4. Clinical presentation at Screening consistent with lcSSc (up to 40% of patients) or dcSSc
