Can an inhaled powder calm the painful Cold-Finger attacks of scleroderma?

NCT ID NCT07748000

First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests an inhaled powder called LIQ861 (treprostinil) in adults with scleroderma who have frequent, painful Raynaud's attacks—episodes where fingers or toes turn color and become numb or tingly. About 75 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a dose that gradually increases or a fixed low dose, to see which doses are safe and comfortable. The study also looks at whether the treatment reduces the number, severity, and impact of these attacks.

What could go wrong
This is an early (phase 2) study with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment may cause side effects or may not effectively reduce attacks.
