Active clinical trials for "Scleroderma, Systemic"

Systemic Sclerosis (Ssc) is a rare, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by skin fibrosis and vasculopathy. In addition to the skin, it is a heterogeneous disease that affects multiple organs, including the musculoskeletal, cardiac, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal systems. Patients may experience many symptoms such as pain, fatigue, dyspnea, impaired hand function, dry mouth, and difficulty sleeping. As a result of these symptoms, these patients may experience a decrease in activities of daily living, physical activity level and quality of life, while psychological problems such as anxiety and depression may increase.

A Study of CD19/BCMA Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells Therapy for Patients With Refractory Scleroderma

A subset of autoimmune diseases (ADs) in children and young adults are life-threatening and unresponsive to conventional treatments. In these patients, the delivery of high dose immunosuppressive therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) offers a treatment strategy capable of purging the pathogenic, autoreactive immune system and an opportunity for "immune reset." This strategy has been used in adults across a myriad of indications with evidence for efficacy. This study proposes a pilot study to evaluate this therapeutic strategy in children and young adults with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), two potentially life threatening autoimmune diseases that may response to this therapeutic approach.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (UCMSC) for the treatment of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a regimen of high-dose immunoablative therapy will demonstrate safety that is consistent or improved with other published regimens in SSc patients, while maintaining a treatment effect.

The purpose of this phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study is to assess the safety and efficacy of ifetroban in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic SSc (dcSSc) or SSc-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH).

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.

The study will verify the superiority of MT-0551 to placebo at 26 weeks after treatment initiation in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients using the modified Rodnan Total Skin thickness Score (mRTSS) as a measure of skin thickening. The safety and pharmacokinetics will also be investigated.

This is an investigator initiated trial to assess the efficacy and safety of BRL-301 in the relapse or refractory autoimmune diseases of China.

This study is open to adults aged 18 and older or above legal age who have early systemic sclerosis. People can participate if they have a specific subtype called diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. Systemic sclerosis is also called scleroderma. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 685509 helps people with scleroderma who have symptoms due to lung fibrosis or vascular problems. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group takes BI 685509 tablets 3 times a day and the other group takes placebo tablets 3 times a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 685509 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets for at least 11 months. Afterwards, participants can continue to take the tablets until the last participant has completed the 11-months treatment period. This means that the time in the study and duration of treatment is different for each participant, depending on when they start the study. At the beginning of the study, participants visit the study site every 2 weeks. The time between the visits to the study site gets longer over the course of the study. After the 11-months treatment period, participants visit the study site every 3 months. During the study, participants regularly do lung function tests. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The participants also regularly fill in questionnaires about their scleroderma symptoms. The doctors regularly check participants' skin condition and general health and take note of any unwanted effects.
