About this study

Official title: A Phase Ⅱ Pilot-Study With Sirolimus for the Treatment of Systemic Sclerosis

The purpose of the study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of sirolimus treatment for people with systemic sclerosis.

The investigators perform a multi-centre, double-blind pilot trial with sirolimus in SSc.The investigators evaluate the effectiveness and safeness of sirolimus for Systemic Sclerosis by randomized controlled study (sirolimus 2mg/d (N = 36) versus placebo group (N = 36)).

Read the detailed description

Each SSc patients (n=72) received sirolimus or placebo (active group: placebo group =1:1, 2mg/day, oral administration, (SIR 2mg, po., Qd) .

The end points were the changement of modified RSS and the adverse events or severe adverse events onset.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants whose modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS)decreasing

    mRSS was evaluated in 17 sites of skin.

    Measured: week 48

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The number of adverse event and severe adverse event occured

    SAE were recorded as life-threatening and others were AE.

    Measured: week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sirolimus in people with Systemic Sclerosis, run by Peking University People's Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Wuri Liga, Master (+8618801231167, murongster@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants whose modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS)decreasing (time frame: week 48). 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 7 Dec 2017.
