Study summary

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease in which many patients experience Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) - painful episodes where commonly fingers or toes change color and become painful, numb, or tingly, usually triggered by cold or stress. This open-label study is testing an inhaled powder form of treprostinil (LIQ861) to find out which doses can be taken safely and comfortably by adults with SSc who have frequent symptomatic RP attacks. About 75 adults will be randomly assigned (2 to 1) to either a dose-titration group or a fixed low-dose group. The study also explores whether treatment reduces the number, severity, and impact of RP attacks. The main goal is to identify tolerated dose(s).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female ≥18 years of age
  • Classification of SSc per the 2013 ACR/EULAR criteria.
  • Diagnosis or history of Raynaud's phenomenon
  • Minimum of 12 (maximum 100) symptomatic RP attacks documented in the ePRO diary over ≥4 separate days

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ≥3 digital ulcers at screening; a new digital ulcer between screening and randomization; gangrene or amputation within 6 months; digital ulcer infection within 3 months.
  • History of cervical/digital sympathectomy or hand botulinum toxin injections within 90 days (or planned during the study).
  • bleeding risk, coagulation disorder, or count \<100 x 10\^9/L.
  • Known WHO Group 1-5 pulmonary hypertension; significant obstructive ( \<65%) or restrictive (FVC \<60%) lung disease; need for supplemental oxygen; severe asthma.
  • Severe uncontrolled hypertension (SBP ≥160 and/or DBP >100 mmHg) or severe hypotension (SBP \<85 mmHg).
  • Any parenteral, inhaled, or oral prostacyclin or prostacyclin receptor agonist within 12 weeks of screening; initiation/dose change of vasodilators within 4 weeks of screening; non-topical CYP2C8 inhibitors/inducers (unless discontinued for >5 half-lives before randomization).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Participant incidence of tolerated dose(s) of LIQ861 defined as a dose level or dose regimen at which ≥80% of participants complete the Treatment Period with ≥80% compliance without permanent discontinuation of LIQ861 due to a TEAE

    Time frame: 21 days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Feb 2027, 4 months later.

Of 48 phase 2 interventional studies under Scleroderma, Systemic, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 83. This study's planned 4 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 7, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
