Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 99 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects from a tertiary care clinic specializing in scleroderma. Controls recruited by subjects being biopsied.

Who may be able to join

  • Fulfill the American College of Rheumatology criteria for systemic sclerosis or:
  • Have no diseases that result in primary fibrosis of an organ system, including the skin and do not have an autoimmune disease

Who cannot join

  • If the subject has systemic sclerosis resulting from an environmental exposure
  • If the subject has an autoimmune disease excluding scleroderma
  • If the subject has an active infection (including, but not limited to hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV)
  • If the subject has been treated with cyclophosphamide in the past 8 weeks.
  • If the subject is prone to bleeding because they are on medications that thin the blood or have a low platelet count.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Sclerosis, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stimulatory autoantibodies to the PDGF receptor (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2016.
