About this study

The Sclero-JAK project aims to assess the impact of a JAK1/2 inhibitor (ruxolitinib) on activation states of monocytes-derived macrophages (MDM) from systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients

Read the detailed description

Systemic sclerosis is a fibrotic and inflammatory chronic autoimmune disorder with no disease modifiying drug available to date. JAK inhibitors may represent a relevant therapeutic candidate for this disease;

The primary objective of this study is to characterize the impact of Ruxolitinib (a JAK ½ inhibitor) on the prof-fibrotic properties of MDM from SSc patients in vitro.

The primary outcome will be the concentration of CCL18 evaluate by ELISA in the condition media of MDM from SSc patients pre treated or not in vitro by ruxolitinib.

The secondary objectives :

  1. To characterize the impact of ruxolitinib on other pro-inflammatory or pro-fibrotic cytokines
  2. To characterize the impact of ruxolitinib on membrane expression of macrophagic polarization markers of MDM from SSc patients
  3. To evaluate the impact of ruxolitinib on the phenotype of MDM from healthy donors exposed in vitro to the serum of SSc patients.
  4. To determine the variability of the effects of ruxolitinib on MDM of SSc patients depending on key clinical characteristics (diffuse versus limited SSc, patients with or without Interstitial Lung disease ILD)

The secondary outcomes :

  1. ELISA of the following cytokine evaluated in the condition media of SSc MDM pre-treated or not with ruxolitinib : PDGFbb, IL-6, CXCL10, CXCL4
  2. Membrane expression (flow cytometry) of the following markers expressed by SSc MDM pre-treated or not with ruxoltinib : CD204, CD206, CD163, CD86, CMHII, TLR4.
  3. Evaluation of the same cytokines and membrane markers in MDM from HD exposed to serum media of SSc patients.
  4. Variation of the effect of ruxolitinib on the primary outcome (CCL18 secreted in the condition media of MDM from SSc patients) in sub groups depending on the following characteristics :
  • Auto antibodies (anticentromere, antitopoisomerase, anti RNA polymerase III or none)
  • modified Rodnan skin score
  • Digital ulcers (current or past)
  • Pulmonary involvement (Interstitial Lung disease on CT scan)
  • Heart involvement (Pulmonary arterial hypertension on echocardiography)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Sclerosis, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 2 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Concentration of CCL18 in the condition media of MDM from SSc patients (time frame: through study completion, an average of 4 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 12 Apr 2023.
