A Phase 2 interventional study of Pirfenidone (PFD) and Placebo (Plac) in Scleroderma, Systemic and Interstitial Lung Disease, sponsored by Michael Roth. Completed at 16 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-12-15.
Sponsored by Michael Roth · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
A Phase II multi-center, double-blind, parallel group, randomized and placebo-controlled clinical trial addressing the treatment of patients with active and symptomatic Scleroderma-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD).
A Phase II multi-center, double-blind, parallel group, randomized and placebo-controlled clinical trial addressing the treatment of patients with active and symptomatic Scleroderma-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Patients who are either treatment naive or only recently started treatment (\</= 6 months of prior treatment) will be randomized in a 1:1 assignment to receive either oral mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and a placebo (Plac) or a combination of oral MMF and oral pirfenidone (PFD), with both regimens administered for 18 months. The primary hypothesis is that the rapid onset and anti-fibrotic effects of PFD, which have been observed in the treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), will complement the delayed antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of MMF, to produce a significantly more rapid and/or greater improvement in lung function over time than occurs in patients receiving control therapy with MMF and Plac.

Documents are hosted by the registry — open the source record to download them.
Plan to share: Yes — A bio-specimen repository will be created in which de-identified blood specimens will be made available to qualified researchers who submit meritorious applications for the access and use of such samples. Requests for specimens and correlative analyses related to other linked and de-identified clinical data will be overseen by the Study Executive and Steering Committees and/or any sub-committees that they may appoint for this process.
