Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis
Conditions
Brief summary
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind (DB), placebo controlled, phase 2 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of IgPro10. The DB Treatment Period will be followed by a 24-week Open-label (OL) Treatment Period. Eligible subjects will be randomized at Baseline in a 2:1 ratio of treatment IgPro10 or placebo in the DB Treatment Period. All subjects who enter OL Treatment Period will receive IgPro10.
Interventions
10% liquid formulation of human immunoglobulin for IVIG
0.5% human albumin solution stabilized with 250 mmol/L L-proline
