Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
SSc is a multi-system disorder of unknown etiology characterized by fibrosis and vascular obliteration in the skin and visceral organs. The pathogenesis of SSc involves immunologic mechanisms vascular damage and excessive accumulation of fibrosis in the skin and internal organs. As vascular damage progresses the microvascular bed in the skin and other sites is impaired, producing a state of chronic ischemia. SSc is commonly divided into the diffuse and limited form of the disease

Primary Outcome(s)
Primary end point(s): EFFICACY endpoints:

Total number of new DUs per patient observed by the investigator at planned visits (a patient diary will be used to record DUs that might appear and disappear between two planned visits)

Time to complete healing of each baseline DU

Time to complete healing of each new DU

Change from baseline to each assessment carried out every 16 weeks in the Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ) and in the composite of hand components of the SHAQ: grip, hygiene, dressing and grooming

Change from baseline to each assessment carried out every 16 weeks in overall hand pain related to finger ulcers

Change from baseline to each assessment carried out every 16 weeks in UK SSc Functional Score (UKFS)

If appropriate, exploratory endpoints, derived from the clinical database, will be analyzed based on data-driven considerations.
