Summary

This Phase 3 study tests whether anifrolumab, given as a weekly shot, can improve symptoms of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) compared to a placebo. About 314 adults aged 18-70 with early-stage disease will take part. The main goal is to see if more people respond to treatment, measured by changes in skin, lung function, and daily activities.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Anifrolumab
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option to control symptoms and slow disease progression in people with systemic sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet known. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible. It is not a cure.

Either HAQ-DI score ≥ 0.25 points or PtGA score ≥ 3 points 6. mRSS \> 10 with early disease or rapid progression as defined by the protocol 7. mRSS ≥ 15 with disease duration ≥ 18 months and active disease as defined by the protocol 8. Stable background therapies can be used including hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolate sodium, mycophenolic acid, oral glucocorticoids or tacrolimus 9.

Overlap syndromes, systemic lupus erythematosus with anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid antibody seropositivity or anti-citrullinated protein antibodies-positive rheumatoid arthritis, or SSc mimics (eg, scleromyxedema, eosinophilic fasciitis) 5. History of, or current, any other inflammatory diseases, eg, inflammatory bowel disease, skin disease, that, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with efficacy and safety assessments or require immunomodulatory therapy 6. Evidence of moderately severe concurrent nervous system, renal, endocrine, hepatic (eg, underlying chronic liver disease \[Child Pugh A, B, C hepatic impairment\]), or gastrointestinal disease (eg, clinical signs of malabsorption or needing parenteral nutrition) not related to SSc, as determined by the investigator 7.
