About this study

Official title: Evaluator Blind, Controlled, Preliminary Clinical Study of Telitacicept in the Treatment of Diffuse Systemic Sclerosis With Progressive Skin Progression

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by potentially widespread and progressive skin fibrosis and vascular abnormalities, and may involve the musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, cardiac, renal, neuromuscular, and urogenital systems. At present, there is no clear and effective drug treatment for the progression of scleroderma skin lesions, and there is a lack of authoritative treatment recommendations. In recent years, research on the treatment of B cells in SSc suggests that targeted B cell therapy has certain safety and effectiveness for SSc patients. Telitacicept is a fully human fusion protein that is a fusion of TACI protein and IgG1 protein. Telitacicept can inhibit the further development and maturation of immature B cells by blocking BLyS. At the same time, Telitacicept can also inhibit the differentiation of mature B cells into plasma cells by blocking APRIL, and affect the secretion of abnormal self reactive plasma cell autoantibodies, better controlling disease activity. The effectiveness and safety of SSc treatment require further research. This study is an evaluator blind, parallel controlled clinical trial that included 20 SSc patients who still had skin progression despite conventional treatment. The patients were divided into two groups, one group included patients who did not improve with conventional treatment for skin lesions, and the other group included patients who received traditional conventional treatment. The main outcome of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Telitacicept in the treatment of progressive skin lesions in SSc, and the secondary outcome was to evaluate the impact of Telitacicept on lung function, gastrointestinal symptoms, pulmonary arterial hypertension, disease activity, and quality of life in SSc.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of mRSS in patients after 52 weeks of treatment

    The range and degree of skin thickening can be evaluated using the modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) . The evaluator palpated 17 areas of the patient's body, and calculated the skin thickness of each area on a scale of 0-3 points, with a total score of 51 points. The skin progression was evaluated through changes in mRSS scores.

    Measured: base line and week 52

  2. The safety of Telitacicept

    Evaluate adverse drug reactions

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Telitacicept in people with Systemic Sclerosis, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 9 Aug 2024. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Jing Chai (86-010-18610089752, chaijing1008@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes of mRSS in patients after 52 weeks of treatment (time frame: base line and week 52). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Aug 2024.
