Brief Summary:
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).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Scleroderma, Diffuse Scleroderma, Systemic Scleroderma, Limited Sclerosis, Progressive Systemic Skin Diseases Connective Tissue Diseases Pathologic Processes Autoimmune Diseases Drug: Oral Ifetroban Drug: Oral Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 2 trial of patients with dcSSc or SSc-PAH. Twenty participants with SSc-PAH and 14 participants with dcSSc will be randomized to receive either oral ifetroban daily or matching placebo. Study participants will be treated for 12 months, followed by a 30-day follow-up period. The study will test whether ifetroban is safe and statistically superior to placebo in reducing the effects of their disease at month 12 and explore the ability of ifetroban to prevent or reverse progression in patients with early disease duration and reverse established disease in patients with longer disease duration.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) [ Time Frame: 56 weeks ]
    Safety is measured using AEs, including clinical significant changes in vital signs, laboratory test abnormalities and clinical tolerability of ifetroban.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, and 52 weeks ]
    To determine if ifetroban improves pulmonary function in subjects with diffuse cutaneous SSc or SSc-PAH compared to placebo as measured by a change from baseline FVC.

  2. Change from baseline in diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, and 52 weeks ]
    To determine if ifetroban improves pulmonary function in subjects with diffuse cutaneous SSc or SSc-PAH compared to placebo as measured by a change from baseline diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO)

  3. Change from baseline in the modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, 39, and 52 weeks ]
    The efficacy of treatment on skin fibrosis will be measured by changes from baseline in mRSS, a measure of skin thickness, at 52 weeks.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change from baseline in ventricular function as determined by cardiac MRI [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26, and 52 weeks ]
  2. Change from baseline in ventricular function as determined by echocardiography [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26, and 52 weeks ]
  3. Improve skin and peripheral vascular disease as measured by active digital ulcer count [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, 39, and 52 weeks ]
  4. Improve skin and peripheral vascular disease as measured by the subject's self-assessment of pain in digits by a visual analog scale (VAS), if active digital ulcers are present. [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, 39, and 52 weeks ]
  5. Change from baseline in blood biomarkers [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26, and 52 weeks ]
  6. Change from baseline in skin biomarkers [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26, and 52 weeks ]
  7. Change from baseline in erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ Time Frame: Baseline, 26, and 52 weeks ]
  8. Change from baseline in subject-reported health status assessed by the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, 39, and 52 weeks ]
  9. Change from baseline in subject health and disability measurements as assessed by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, 39, and 52 weeks ]
  10. Change from baseline in subject-reported gastro-intestinal tract symptoms as assessed by the University of California, Los Angles (UCLA) Scleroderma Clinical Trial Consortium (SCTC) Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, 39, and 52 weeks ]
  11. Change from baseline in subject-reported outcomes as assessed by the short-form health survey (SF-36) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12, 26, 39, and 52 weeks ]
