Brief Summary
To define a target value of AUC MPA to improve the modified Rodnan score and / or respiratory impairment (DLCO or FVC) at one year in patients receiving MMF for the treatment of diffuse cutaneous or interstitial lung damage of systemic sclerosis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Skin efficacy
Modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) : min 0 max 51. A diminution in the mRSS of more than 25% from the initial value was considered as improved. On the contrary, an increase in the mRSS over 25% was considered as deteriorated. All other variations of mRSS were classified as stable. Minimal clinically important difference was also tested (worsening of mRSS ≥ 4.7).
1 year
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Pulmonary efficacy.1
1 year
Pulmonary efficacy.2
6 months and 1 year
Interventions
Plasmatic AUC determination of MPA requires 3 blood punctures at H0, H30 and H2. These punctures will be made at inclusion after 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months and one year.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients receiving MMF for another indication than skin or lung damage to systemic sclerosis (after lung transplantation for example). * Contraindication to MMF: Hypersensitivity to the product. Pregnancy. * In patients treated for skin damage: * Failure to take other concomitant immunosuppressive treatments or in the last 3 months except corticosteroid therapy. * No treatment with biotherapy in the last 6 months * In patients treated for lung damage: * No treatment with biotherapy in the last 6 months
You may qualify if:
- Systemic sclerosis meeting the ACR / EULAR criteria of 2013
- Equal or more than 18 years old, able to freely consent to study
- In patients treated for skin damage:
- Diffuse skin sclerosis (rising above the elbows and / or knees)
- First clinical sign of systemic sclerosis outside of Raynaud's phenomenon going back less than three years
- Failure to take other concomitant immunosuppressive treatments or in the last 3 months except corticosteroids.
- In patients treated for lung damage:
- Interstitial lung damage identified on chest CT, chest x-ray
- Any duration of progression of systemic scleroderma
- Prescription of MMF in first line or in relay of a treatment with Cyclophosphamide.
- Absence of biotherapy in the last 6 months.
