Systemic sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disorder with no universally accepted disease modifying regimen. Recruiting patients for systemic sclerosis treatment studies is difficult due to the limited availability of such patients and furthermore the use of a placebo arm is often deemed unethical due to the poor survival of diffuse systemic sclerosis patients. Long-term controlled trials examining functional outcomes and survival from novel therapeutic agents for systemic sclerosis are often difficult to undertake because of costs, rarity of the disease and ethical issues with the use of a true placebo. Open label single center studies while inferior to multicenter placebo controlled studies, have helped establish the benefits of certain pharmaceutical agents in systemic sclerosis, and while not universally accepted as disease modifying agents, have been used with some success to treat systemic sclerosis. The hypothesis on which we are basing this study is that an endothelin receptor antagonist and disease modifying agent with antifibrotic properties will have additive influence on fibrosis, inhibit cellular and humoral hyperactivity and interfere with smooth muscle proliferation in the vessel wall. The combination of these two agents will also be the first regimen to address the heterogeneity of scleroderma manifestations including ILD, pulmonary arterial hypertension and skin manifestations
Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that involves the skin and other internal organs for which there are few effective treatment options. We hypothesize that treatment with abatacept, a new therapy recently approved for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, may reduce the progression of skin thickening and fibrosis in people with scleroderma.
Systemic Sclerosis (also known as Scleroderma) is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the connective tissue generally classified as one of the rheumatic diseases. Systemic Sclerosis causes fibrosis (scar tissue) to be formed in the skin and internal organs. The fibrosis eventually causes the involved skin to harden, limiting mobility, and can also damage other organs. Excess Transforming Growth Factor Beta-1 (TGF-beta1) activity may result in the abnormal fibrosis characteristic of Systemic Sclerosis. An antibody against TGF-beta1 may modify pathologic processes characterized by inappropriate fibrosis. Genzyme Corporation is currently investigating a human monoclonal antibody (CAT-192) that neutralizes active TGF-beta1. This study is being conducted in the U.S. and Europe to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of repeated treatments with CAT-192 in patients with early stage diffuse Systemic Sclerosis.

The purpose of this study is to determine if fresolimumab is safe in treating people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and to investigate the effect of fresolimumab in the skin of these individuals.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effects of the medication ixazomib in participants with scleroderma/systemic sclerosis including its safety and tolerability, its effects on skin, lungs and other organs, and its effects on overall health and quality of life.
Scleroderma,also known as systemic sclerosis (SSc), is a multisystem disease affecting skin and other tissues including joints, muscles, lungs, the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys and tissue fibrosis is widespread. SSc presents special problems for developing therapies due to the heterogeneous clinical presentation, the variability of disease progression and the difficulty quantifying the extent of disease. For most disease manifestations, treatment is primarily symptomatic and generally inadequate. This study will utilize a 4-gene biomarker of skin disease as the primary efficacy outcome in a short duration, placebo-controlled clinical trial of rilonacept, designed to provide preliminary data for a larger trial. These gene biomarkers should provide a strong surrogate for such trials in the future and, if IL-1 is indeed the cytokine leading to fibrosis in this disease, provide a highly significant start to finding a therapeutic for SSc that for the first time might dramatically affect fibrosis. A central hypothesis of this study is that IL-1 inhibition will downregulate the 4-gene biomarker over a relatively short period of time, much shorter than is historically thought necessary to see changes in the MRSS, a skin score measurement tool. Entry criteria will include the recent onset of diffuse cutaneous SSc as this is the population most likely to show progressive skin disease and also the population examined in previous studies showing correlations between MRSS and the 4-gene biomarker. Secondary outcomes will include other validated measures of SSc disease activity. MRSS and SSc health assessment questionnaire (SHAQ), will be followed during the trial. This study will also test the effect of rilonacept on global skin gene expression using microarray analyses of skin biopsies. In addition, serum biomarkers of SSc disease activity (COMP, THS-1 and IFI44) and a biomarker of inflammasome activation (CRP) will be tested before and after treatment.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, multicenter trial. Participants will be screened within 6 weeks prior to the Baseline (Day 1) Visit. Approximately 300 participants who meet the trial eligibility criteria will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive HZN-825 300 mg QD, HZN-825 300 mg BID or placebo for 52 weeks. The trial will include up to a 42-day Screening Period and a 52-week Double-blind Treatment Period. Participants will take their first dose of trial drug at the clinic and will participate in trial visits at Week 4 and every 6 weeks thereafter until Week 52. All participants who complete the Double-blind Treatment Period (Week 52) will be eligible to enter a 52-week extension trial (HZNP-HZN-825-302, NCT05626751). Participants not entering the extension trial will participate in a Safety Follow-up Visit 4 weeks after the last dose of trial drug.
This was a phase 2, open-label, single-cohort, multicenter trial of belumosudil in participants with Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (dcSSc). An estimated total of 12 to 15 participants would receive belumosudil 200 milligrams (mg) administered orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 52 weeks. The primary analysis was at 24 weeks.

This randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 study was seeking to evaluate the efficacy and safety of belumosudil (KD025) for the treatment of diffuse cutaneous systematic sclerosis. Enrolment was terminated earlier than planned for business reasons unrelated to safety. A total of 36 participants were enrolled and randomized into 3 groups to either receive orally administered belumosudil (200 milligrams \[mg\] once daily \[QD\] and 200 mg twice daily \[BID\]) or matched placebo in 1:1:1 ratio in the double-blind (DB) period of this study. Study drug dosing was for 52 weeks: double-blinded for the first 28 weeks followed by an open-label extension of 24 weeks. After unblinding, the participants on belumosudil continued on the same belumosudil dose whereas the participants in the placebo group were re-randomized to one of the belumosudil doses in a 1:1 ratio.
This is a 52 week, single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. After patients maintain a stable dose of Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) for at least 1 month, they will be randomized to treatment with either Belimumab \& Rituximab or placebo.Patients in both groups will be on background MMF for the entirety of the study. Belimumab will be administered subcutaneously and Rituximab intravenously. Placebo injections and infusions will be of normal saline. Randomization will be done in a 2:1 manner to favor the treatment group. It is hypothesized that that Rituximab and Belimumab combination therapy with Mycophenolate Mofetil background therapy will improve fibrosis in SSc skin when compared to treatment with placebo and Mycophenolate Mofetil in a group of patients with early dcSSc.
Several lines of evidence place TGF-β, a potent pro-fibrotic cytokine, at the centre of the pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis (SSC). AVID200 is a novel inhibitor of TGF-β ligands. This Phase 1 trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of AVID200 in SSc patients in order delineate doses to be further evaluated in Phase 2. Approximately 9 to 24 male and female patients with documented SSc (i.e., score ≥ 9 according to the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism classification criteria), and classified as having the diffuse cutaneous SSs (dcSSc) subset (i.e., according to the LeRoy and Medsger Classification), will be entered into this Phase 1a, multicentre, open-label, dose-escalation, cohort study of AVID200.
This is a Phase 3 multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of lenabasum for the treatment of diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (SSc). Approximately 354 subjects will be enrolled in this study at about 60 sites in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. The planned duration of treatment with study drug is 52 weeks.
This Phase I/II placebo controlled trial will evaluate tofacitinib in subjects with diffuse cutaneous systemic scleroderma (dcSSc). This trial is intended to provide safety, and tolerability data in participants with dcSSc when dosed to target exposures similar to that used in adult participants with rheumatoid arthritis.
GSK2330811 is a humanized monoclonal antibody which is in development for systemic sclerosis (SSc), a rare autoimmune disease with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, there are no approved disease modifying therapies and it is an area of high unmet medical need. GSK2330811 has been shown to bind and neutralize Oncostatin M (OSM) that has been associated with fibrosis, vasculopathy and inflammation in a number of diseases. This multi-center, randomized, double-blind (sponsor open), placebo controlled, proof of mechanism study will be the first study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of repeat subcutaneous (SC) doses of GSK2330811 in male and female participants with diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc). Participants with active disease and a disease duration of \<= 60 months will be enrolled. Approximately 24 to 40 participants will be randomized across two sequential cohorts. Cohort 1 will evaluate a repeat-dose predicted to provide sub-maximal inhibition of OSM, leading to a dose escalation decision. Cohort 1 is planned to consist of at least 4 participants, randomized such that 3 participants will receive GSK2330811 100 milligram (mg) and 1 will receive placebo. Cohort 2 is planned to consist of at least 20 participants, randomized such that participants will receive GSK2330811 300 mg and placebo in a 3:1 ratio respectively. The duration of the study is up to 34 weeks including a screening period of up to 6 weeks, treatment period of 12 weeks and follow-up period of 16 weeks.

The study hypothesis is that SC abatacept is safe and shows evidence of efficacy (improvement in modified Rodnan score \[mRSS\]) in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcScc) compared to matching placebo.
This is a 48 week, phase IIa, single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept pilot study. All participants will first be treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF, Cellcept) and titrated up to a dose of 2 grams/day. Following this period, half will be given either a belimumab (Benlysta®) or placebo intravenous infusion to treat early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. Belimumab/MMF is expected to improve disease activity measured by an improvement in skin thickening and stability of pulmonary function test measurements when compared to patients treated with placebo/MMF.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of tulisokibart in participants with SSc-ILD.
