- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in University of California at Los Angeles Scleroderma Clinical Trial Consortium GI Tract (UCLA-SCTC GIT) instrument score in participants with SSc Baseline to Month 12 This participant-reported assessment is a 34-item instrument designed to measure GI tract involvement in participants with SSc. The UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 has 7 multi-item scales: Reflux, Distension/Bloating, Diarrhea, Fecal Soilage, Constipation, Emotional Well-being, and Social Functioning and a total GIT score. All scales are scored from 0 \[better health-related quality of life (HRQOL)\] to 3 (worse HRQOL) except the diarrhea and constipation scales (ranges 0-2 and 0-2.5, respectively). The Total GIT Score, is developed by averaging 6 of 7 scales (excluding constipation) with lower scores indicating better HRQOL.
