Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
[Period 1] Change from baseline in modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) at 24 weeks
The mRSS assesses skin thickness at 17 different cutaneous sites across the body using a scale from 0 (normal skin) to 3 (severe thickening), with a total score ranging from 0 (no thickening) to 51 (severe thickening in all 17 areas)
Week 24
[Period 2] Safety and tolerability of tibulizumab
Assessed by the incidence of all treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), as well as changes from baseline in vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, and laboratory results
Week 52
Secondary Outcomes (6)
[Period 1] Change from baseline in quantitative interstitial lung disease (QILD) obtained with high-resolution quantitative tomography (HRCT) in the whole lung in participants with SSc-interstitial lung disease (ILD)
Week 24
[Period 1] Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) in participants with SSc-ILD
Week 24
[Period 1] Change from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
Week 24
[Period 1] Safety and tolerability of tibulizumab
Week 24
[Period 2] Change from baseline in mRSS
