KYSA-5: A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Multicentre Study of KYV 101, an Autologous Fully Human Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell (CD19 CAR T) Therapy, in Subjects with Systemic Sclerosis  

Sponsor: Kyverna Therapeutics

SSc is an immune-mediated rheumatic disease that is characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs and vasculopathy. B-cells play a role in SSc, and the disease is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies such as anti-Scl-70 and anti-RNAP III antibodies. CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells harness the ability of cytotoxic T-cells to directly and specifically lyse target cells to effectively deplete B-cells in the circulation and in lymphoid and potentially non-lymphoid tissues. KYV-101, a fully human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, will be investigated in adult subjects with systemic sclerosis.

A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Belimumab in Adults With Systemic Sclerosis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease (BLISSc-ILD) 

Sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline

This study investigates the efficacy and safety of belimumab compared to placebo, in addition to standard therapy, for the treatment of participants with systemic sclerosis associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). The study will evaluate the effect of belimumab treatment on lung function as well as on extra-pulmonary disease manifestations, including skin thickening and general symptoms, such as fatigue, that impact quality of life (QoL).

Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Efzofitimod in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)-Related Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) (SSc-ILD) Sponsor: aTyr Pharma, Inc.

We are testing whether an investigational drug, called efzofitimod, can improve (or be an effective form of treatment for) the skin and lung effects caused by systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD)This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, PoC study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efzofitimod in patients with SSc-ILD. 

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the PoC for efficacy in a population with SSc-ILD. While improvement of ILD is the outcome of interest, the study will also evaluate changes in the skin. After initial screening (up to 4 weeks), approximately 25 eligible participants will be randomized 2:2:1 to 1 of 2 active (experimental) dose arms or placebo, administered every 4 weeks up to and including Week 20.

What will be involved? Throughout the study, you will:

• Attend a total of 9 visits to the study center

• Complete questionnaires to let us know how you are feeling

• Undergo monthly clinic visits where you will have physical exams, lung function tests, skin biopsies (only one at the beginning of the study and then at 3 months) and blood tests during these visits.

There will be no charge for any study-related treatment or procedures. Travel reimbursement for attending study visits will be provided. Please contact the study team for more information

Phase 2 Safety and Efficacy Study of Tulisokibart (MK-7240/PRA023) in Subjects With Systemic Sclerosis Associated With Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD) (MK-7240-007) (ATHENA-SSc-ILD)

Sponsor: Prometheus Biosciences, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA) 

PRA023 has previously been given to healthy adults and adults with inflammatory bowel disease. However, this is the first study of PRA023 in patients with Systemic Sclerosis and Interstitial Lung Disease. The study seeks to understand whether PRA023 can slow or halt disease in the lungs and improve quality of life. The study will also examine the potential benefit for skin involvement and overall Systemic Sclerosis disease severity. Key study requirements are: • Adult patients 18 years of age or older • Diagnosis of the diffuse form of scleroderma within 5 years • Interstitial lung disease, a common form of lung disease associated with inflammation and scarring • Patients who complete the study are offered access to continued treatment For More Information, This Trial is Posted on the Following Public Website: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05270668

A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Vixarelimab in Participants With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and in Participants With Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease. Sponsor: Genentech, Inc. 

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of vixarelimab compared with placebo on lung function in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and in participants with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Participants who complete 52-weeks of treatment in the Double-blind Treatment (DBT) period can choose to enroll in the optional Open-label Extension (OLE) period to receive treatment with vixarelimab for another 52 weeks.

Oral Ifetroban to Treat Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) or SSc-associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Sponsor: Cumberland Pharmaceuticals

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 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.

TBI Using IMRT and Cyclophosphamide Prior to Stem Cell Transplant for the Treatment of Severe Systemic Sclerosis

This early phase I trial studies the side effects and feasibility of total body irradiation using intensity modulation radiation therapy (IMRT) when given in combination with cyclophosphamide prior to stem cell transplant to treat severe systemic sclerosis. IMRT delivers total body radiation therapy more precisely and may reduce radiation exposure to sensitive normal organs. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Giving IMRT and cyclophosphamide prior to stem cell transplant may work better in treating severe systemic sclerosis and reduce radiation doses to lung and kidneys compared to cyclophosphamide alone.

Patients undergo TBI using IMRT twice daily (BID) on days -5 and -4 in the absence of disease progression or disease progression. Patients then receive cyclophosphamide on days -3 and -2 and undergo HSCT on day 0 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up on days 30 and 100.
