NCT02349009

Brief Summary

1:1 active treatment: placebo, blinded trial, evaluating the effect of a 4-week treatment period with topical C-82 on skin expression of two gene biomarker surrogates (THBS1 and COMP) for the modified Rodnan skin score (MRSS). Study subjects will be randomized to apply the active study medication daily for 4 weeks to either the right or left forearm and placebo to the contralateral forearm.

You may qualify if:

  • meet the American College of Rheumatology criteria for systemic sclerosis with diffuse cutaneous involvement (clinical skin involvement proximal to forearms and or knees, not including the face).
  • Disease duration of \<36 months since the onset of the first SSc manifestation other than Raynaud's phenomenon, or patients with progressive disease based on new or worsening skin disease based on physician assessment.
  • local skin score over the bilateral forearm of ≥ 2.
  • a MRSS of ≥ 12.
  • on stable dose of any immunosuppressive other than cyclophosphamide or high dose steroids (excluded treatments) for at least one month and through the course of study treatment.
  • Subjects of child-producing potential must agree to use effective contraception while and for at least 3 months after the last treatment.

You may not qualify if:

  • Receiving treatment as part of an interventional clinical trial within 4 weeks of screening or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer).
  • Ongoing use of high dose steroids (\> 10mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or unstable steroid dose in the past 4 weeks.
  • Use of topical creams or gels on the forearm area within the past month and through the course of study treatment.
  • UV light therapy for 4 weeks before or during the study period.
  • Treatment with cyclophosphamide within the past month and through the course of study treatment.
  • Known active bacterial, viral fungal mycobacterial, or other infection

  • Moderate to severe hepatic impairment, .
  • Scleroderma renal crisis within 4 months or creatinine greater than 2.0.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Nursing mothers are to be excluded.
  • Gastrointestinal involvement requiring total parenteral nutrition or hospitalization within the past 3 months for pseudo-obstruction
  • Moderately severe pulmonary disease with FVC \< 40%, or DLCO \< 30% predicted or evidence of progressive lung disease as manifest by a decrease in FVC or 10% or more over the previous year.
