Active clinical trials for "Scleroderma, Diffuse"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of JBT-101 in adult subjects with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis.

The DUAL-2 study is designed as a multicenter, double-blind two-period study with an initial fixed 16-week Period 1, followed by a Period 2 of variable duration. All patients completing Period 1 continue on their original randomized treatment into Period 2, until the last randomized patient has completed Period 1. Patients are randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio (macitentan 3mg: macitentan 10mg: placebo). The primary objective is to demonstrate the effect of macitentan on the reduction of the number of new digital ulcers in patients with systemic sclerosis and ongoing digital ulcers (DU). Other objectives include: the evaluation of the efficacy of macitentan on hand functionality and DU burden at Week 16 in SSc patients with ongoing DU disease. the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of macitentan in these patients. the evaluation of the efficacy of macitentan on time to first DU complication during the entire treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate source data for the survival and the investigation of the preliminary efficacy of immunoadsorption in patients with severe systemic sclerosis.

Autoimmune diseases present a special challenge to clinicians and the aim of this protocol is to serve as a last-line effort for patients with unmanageable disease. The primary purpose of this study is to assess feasibility in terms of toxicity and engraftment of a less toxic, nonablative conditioning regimen of Campath-1H, moderate dose fludarabine, and cyclophosphamide for patients with severe autoimmune diseases.

Scleroderma is disease believed to be due to immune cells, cells which normally protect the body but are now causing damage to the body. There has not been any treatment that has been effective in treating this disease. The likelihood of progression of the disease to severe disability and death is high. This study is designed to examine whether treating patients with high dose Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine (drugs which reduce the function of your immune system) and CAMPATH-1H (a protein that kills the immune cells that are thought to be causing the disease), followed by return of blood stem cells that have been previously collected from patients brother or sister will stop or reverse the disease. The purpose of the Cyclophosphamide, Fludarabine and CAMPATH-1H is to decrease immune system. The purpose of the stem cell infusion is to restore blood production, which will be severely impaired by the Cyclophosphamide, Fludarabine and CAMPATH-1H, and to produce a normal immune system that will no longer attack the body.

Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis (SSc), is a diffuse connective tissue disease characterized by changes in the skin, blood vessels, skeletal muscles, and internal organs. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and value of self bone marrow transplants after chemotherapy in patients with severe SSc.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of pomalidomide in the treatment of patients with systemic sclerosis with interstitial lung disease.

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.

The aim of the study is to examine the validity of peripheral oxygen saturation measurement during the 6-minute walk test in patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) and to examine the utility of two other functional tests as markers of pulmonary involvement in patients with SSc.

This research is being done to evaluate if an online fatigue intervention program will decrease fatigue, pain and increase confidence managing fatigue and being able to do daily tasks. This study involves competing a series of questionnaires before and after the intervention , and attending and participating in the online videoconference fatigue program for 1 1/2 hour meetings each week over a 6-week period of time.
