New antibody drug aims to halt Scleroderma's damage

NCT ID NCT06843239

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a drug called tibulizumab in 80 adults with systemic sclerosis, a disease that causes skin thickening and can damage organs. Participants first receive either the drug or a placebo for 24 weeks, then everyone who continues gets the drug for another 28 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces skin thickness and is safe.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

tibulizumab (an antibody that targets BAFF and IL-17)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option to control skin thickening and lung damage in systemic sclerosis.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not improve symptoms or could cause side effects.
