入排标准

入选标准

  • 1. Patients with a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis as per the 2013 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria, irrespective of their gender, will be included in the study. They may have either diffuse cutaneous or limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis.
  • 2. Age >=12 years
  • 3. Patients with the following evidence of pulmonary involvement:
  • % predicted FVC <= 70% and/or
  • HRCT chest showing involvement of >= 20% of lung area with interstitial lung disease.

排除标准

  • 1. Patients with overlap syndrome.
  • 2. Diagnosis of clinically significant resting pulmonary hypertension requiring treatment diagnosed on echocardiography (defined as tricuspid regurgitation velocity >= 4m/s, eqivalent to estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure of 64 mm Hg) while evaluation of the patient during study.
  • 3. Evidence of uncontrolled congestive heart failure, unstable ischemic heart disease, history of pulmonary embolism, or cardiac arrhythmia requiring chronic anticoagulation.
  • 4. FVC <= 15% at baseline.
  • 5. Patients who cannot perform spirometry for evaluation of pulmonary function tests despite sufficient counselling about the procedure.
  • 6. More than 50% area of lung showing fibrosis on HRCT chest at baseline.
  • 7. Hematologic abnormality at screening including:
  • Leukopenia (white blood cells [WBC] < 4.0x103/µl).
  • Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 150.0x103/µl).
  • Clinically significant anemia (hemoglobin < 7 g/dl).
  • Participants with an identified and correctable etiology will be eligible if repeat testing shows values greater than the above mentioned cut-off.
  • 8. A diagnosis of chronic liver disease or abnormal baseline liver function tests (total bilirubin or liver enzymes, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase > 2.0 times the upper normal limit).
  • 9. Serum creatinine >2.0mg/dl
  • 10. Pregnancy and/or breast feeding
  • 11. If of child bearing potential (a female participant < 55 years of age who has not been postmenopausal for >= 5 years or who has not had a hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy), failure to employ reliable means of contraception.
  • 12. Prior use of oral or intravenous cyclophosphamide, MMF, azathioprine or other putative disease modifying medications in last 3 months (assessed at baseline).
  • 13. Current use, or use within the 30 days prior to their baseline visit, of prednisone (or equivalent) in dose of 40 mg/day.
  • 14. Active infection (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, tuberculosis, HIV) whose management would be compromised by immunosuppression.
