Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Efzofitimod in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)-Related Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) (SSc-ILD)

April 19, 2024 updated by: aTyr Pharma, Inc.

Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Proof-of-Concept (PoC) Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Efzofitimod in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)-Related Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) (SSc-ILD)

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, PoC study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efzofitimod in patients with SSc-ILD. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the PoC for efficacy in a population with SSc-ILD. While improvement of ILD is the outcome of interest, the study will also evaluate changes in the skin. After initial screening (up to 4 weeks), approximately 25 eligible participants will be randomized 2:2:1 to 1 of 2 active (experimental) dose arms or placebo, administered every 4 weeks up to and including Week 20.

  6. MMF of ≥ 2 gm/day (or equivalent doses of other mycophenolate based compounds) for 6 months

Exclusion Criteria:

  3. HRCT obtained in the 3 months prior to Screening consistent with other confounding pathology.
  4. Treatment with corticosteroids (> 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) within 2 weeks prior to baseline
