Hyaluronidase for Sclerodactyly in Systemic Sclerosis Trial

Translational studies have demonstrated reduced hyaluronidase activity in the skin of patients with systemic sclerosis. It is thought this may contribute to the progressive fibrosis seen in this disease. Several studies have demonstrated that exogenous hyaluronidase is very effective at improving systemic sclerosis associated microstomia. Therefore, this study aims to explore hyaluronidase for systemic sclerosis associated sclerodactyly.

A Study to Test Whether Nerandomilast Helps People With Systemic Sclerosis

Nerandomilast is being developed to help people with systemic sclerosis by potentially improving symptoms and slowing disease progression. This study is open to adults who are at least 18 years old and have systemic sclerosis (SSc). People can join the study if they have limited or diffuse cutaneous SSc with disease onset within 7 years of the first non-Raynaud's symptom. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called nerandomilast helps people with systemic sclerosis. This study also aims to find out how well nerandomilast is tolerated in people with systemic sclerosis. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes nerandomilast tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like nerandomilast tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets twice a day. Participants are in the study for 1 to about 4 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly and get phone calls from the site staff. During study visits participants regularly have blood samples taken and doctors check changes in skin thickening, lung function, and internal organs, overall health and the safety and tolerability of study treatment in people with SSc. The results are compared between the groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Preventive Effect of Clopidogrel on the Systemic Sclerosis Development Risk

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe autoimmune disease associating dysimmunity, vasculopathy and fibrosis. No curative treatment is available. Pre-clinical abnormalities can be found such as specific autoantibodies. The association of Raynaud phenomenon and SSc-specific anti-nuclear antibodies is the hallmark of pre-scleroderma subjects, among who around 47% declare a complete disease after five years. The aim of this study is to assess in this particular population the preventive effect of an anti-platelet treatment.

Assessment of Nutritional Status in Systemic Sclerosis

The main theme of the cohort of systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients is the determination of nutritional status, its evolution and the evaluation of its management in patients with scleroderma. The main objectives are : * To determine the incidence of malnutrition and its main determinants (disease characteristics, severity, eating habits, physical activity) in patients with scleroderma. * For patients with undernutrition at inclusion or at 18 months follow-up: evaluate the impact of a standardized nutritional intervention (dietary advice, oral supplements, artificial, enteral or parenteral nutrition) on nutritional and disease parameters. Follow-up visits will take place every 6 months for 2 years. (M6, M12, M18 et M24). During each visit: a clinical examination, with anthropometric measurements, a 3-day dietary survey and a blood sample (10 ml), completion a multiple-choice of quality of life and physical activity evaluation. Paraclinical evaluation : echocardiography, lung function tests, screening for osteoporosis (M6 and M18). If undernutrition is detected during a follow-up visit, the subject will be referred to a specialized service.

Efficacy of a Personalized Rehabilitation Program of Facial Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis

Systemic sclerosis is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by microangiopathy, activation of the immune system, and sclerosis of tissues including the skin. Facial involvement is frequent and disabling. It causes significant functional and aesthetic discomfort, and a major deterioration in quality of life. It results in a loss of suppleness of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, peribuccal rhagades, microstomia, and dry mouth causing difficulties in mouth opening, feeding, dental care, and weight loss. Facial involvement in systemic sclerosis can be assessed using the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis (MHISS) score, a validated patient questionnaire assessing the functional and aesthetic consequences of systemic sclerosis on the face. Although common and disabling, facial involvement is underestimated and poorly managed. Immunosuppressive and/or anti-fibrosis drugs are not very effective. Facial rehabilitation could significantly improve the mouth handicap but facial rehabilitation is not currently performed in standard care in systemic sclerosis patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a personalized rehabilitation program vs standard care in facial involvement of systemic sclerosis patients.

EACVI Study on Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging of Inflammatory Cardiovascular Diseases

Inflammatory Cardiovascular Diseases and Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases (ICARDs) encompass cardiovascular involvement in connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, and primary inflammatory cardiac processes affecting all layers of the heart. ICARDs are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, independently of traditional risk factors, via multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. Diagnosis and prognosis are challenged by the heterogeneity of clinical presentations. Multimodality cardiovascular imaging - including cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), transthoracic echocardiography, and positron emission tomography (PET) - plays a central role in detecting and characterizing inflammatory involvement, and may offer prognostic insights. Given the limited data on the diagnostic and prognostic utility of these imaging modalities in ICARDs, the EACVI-INFLAME study aims to assess the prevalence of confirmed cardiovascular involvement in patients with suspected or established ICARDs undergoing CMR and/or cardiac PET in a multicentric international cohort.

Personalized Home Respiratory Rehabilitation Program for Subjects With Systemic Sclerosis With Early Lung Disease

Systematic sclerosis (SSc) is a potentially severe disease characterized by various visceral involvements including lung. The investigators hypothesize that a respiratory rehabilitation program specifically designed for people with systematic sclerosis with early lung disease could help to decrease respiratory deficiencies, improve aerobic capacity and prevent activity limitations and participation restrictions. Before testing the effectiveness of such a program, a pilot study is needed to assess its feasibility and optimize its content. Participants will have 1 supervised session in the outpatient rehabilitation department. Each patient will then perform the home personalized exercises program for 3 months. The feasibility of the program will be assessed at 3 months using patients' adherence to the program (assessed by the number of lost to follow-up, the number of questionnaires not completed, the amount of aerobic activity and the amount of home personalized exercises, treatment burden, adverse effects and quality of life.
