Authorised Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) interstitial lung disease secondary to systemic sclerosis (SSc-ILD)

A study of different investigational treatments in people with the interstitial lung disease that accompanies scleroderma (CONQUEST)

EU CTIS ID: 2023-507129-40-00

What this study is testing

to evaluate the efficacy of the investigational products compared with placebo on the change from baseline to the end of the treatment period at Week 52 in forced vital capacity (FVC) (mL), measured in study participants with SSc-ILD

  • Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Male or female ≥18 years of age at the time of signed informed consent.
  • SSc classification as defined by the 2013 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism criteria. Participants with diffuse, limited or sine cutaneous skin involvement are eligible.
  • Onset of SSc (defined by first non-Raynaud’s symptom) ≤7 years prior to the Screening Visit;
  • A modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) of less than 40;
  • Presence of ILD with evidence of any fibrosis on HRCT (within ≤3 months of randomization)
  • Presence of an FVC ≥45% predicted normal

You likely can't join if

  • Scleroderma related: Presence of clinically significant pulmonary abnormalities inconsistent with ILD on HRCT (e.g., scarring due to previous active TB, sarcoidosis, lung mass, or other findings unrelated to SSc-ILD, as determined by a local radiologist/Investigator);
  • Other protocol and subprotocol-defined criteria apply.
  • Prior treatment: History of stem cell transplantation, bone marrow transplantation, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or solid organ transplantation;
  • Fertility: Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant while in the clinical study;
  • Liver: History of Child-Pugh Class B or Class C liver disease or presence of acute or chronic congestive heart failure ;
  • Laboratory abnormalities: Presence of abnormal laboratory findings at the Screening Visit:

  • Liver: History of Child-Pugh Class B or Class C liver disease or presence of acute or chronic congestive heart failure ;
  • Laboratory abnormalities: Presence of abnormal laboratory findings at the Screening Visit:
  • Bleeding risk: History of major trauma or hemorrhage within 30 days of the Screening Visit;
  • Bleeding risk: History of any clinically significant chronic intermittent bleeding, such as active gastric antral vascular ectasia or active peptic ulcer disease, within 60 days of the Screening Visit;
  • Cardiovascular: History of any cerebrovascular events, myocardial infarction or unstable angina, restrictive or congestive cardiomyopathy (other than mild), life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, hemodynamically significant aortic or mitral valve disease, pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. Presence of acute or chronic congestive heart failure, severe uncontrolled hypertension at the Screening Visit.
  • Scleroderma related: History of scleroderma renal crisis within 6 months prior to the Screening Visit.
