Testing a two-drug combo for lung scarring in scleroderma
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of two drugs, nintedanib and tocilizumab, can help people with systemic sclerosis (a condition that causes skin and organ hardening) who also have lung scarring (interstitial lung disease). The goal is to find a treatment that can slow down the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 74 years old.
- You have systemic sclerosis with active skin hardening (score between 10 and 45).
- You have lung scarring shown on a CT scan, affecting at least 10% of your lungs.
- Your scleroderma has been diagnosed within the last 6 years.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant, you agree to use effective birth control during the study and for 3 months after.

This trial tests efzofitimod to see if it can improve or slow lung disease caused by systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), and to check safety and side effects. It focuses on people with relatively early disease and measurable lung involvement on lung scans.
This Phase 2 study tests whether mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) can slow or improve early, mild lung scarring in people with systemic sclerosis. It’s meant for systemic sclerosis patients who have lung involvement on a CT scan but still have good breathing test results.
This trial tests if a new drug called telitacicept can safely help people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) who still have active disease despite standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can slow or improve skin thickening and other symptoms.
This study helps doctors identify early signs of lung scarring (fibrosis) in patients with autoimmune diseases like scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren's syndrome. By catching this early, researchers hope to better understand and treat these complications.
This trial tests if a combination of three drugs (azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, and prednisone) can help people with a genetic form of lung scarring. The goal is to see if these medicines calm the immune system and slow down the disease.
This trial tests a new treatment called CABA-201, which uses your own immune cells to target and calm the overactive immune system causing scleroderma. It aims to reduce symptoms and slow or stop the disease's progression.
