A Study of MT-0551 in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

December 4, 2025 updated by: Tanabe Pharma Corporation

Phase 3 Study of MT-0551 in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis (Placebo-Controlled Double-Blind Study)

The study will verify the superiority of MT-0551 to placebo at 26 weeks after treatment initiation in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients using the modified Rodnan Total Skin thickness Score (mRTSS) as a measure of skin thickening. The safety and pharmacokinetics will also be investigated.

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Exclusion Criteria:

Additional screening criteria check may apply for qualification:

  1. Pulmonary hypertension associated with SSc.
  2. Presence of a serious, SSc-related concurrent illness other than interstitial pneumonia.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change from baseline in the mRTSS up to the end of the long-term extension period
Time Frame: baseline, RCP 4, 12, 26, OLP 4,12, 26, the long-term extension period 26, 52, 78, 104 weeks
baseline, RCP 4, 12, 26, OLP 4,12, 26, the long-term extension period 26, 52, 78, 104 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Pulmonary function tests: Change from baseline in the percent predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) and percent predicted diffusing capacity of the lung carbon monoxide (%DLco)
Time Frame: Baseline to at least 52 weeks or early termination
Baseline to at least 52 weeks or early termination
Pulmonary function tests: Percentage change from baseline in the %FVC and %DLco
