A Phase 2 Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Ifetroban in Patients With Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) or SSc-associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (SSc-PAH)
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).
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.
