New Era in Systemic Sclerosis Treatment: Recently Approved Therapeutics
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a poor prognosis. Among the various complications of SSc, treatment options for the fibrotic lesions, skin sclerosis, and SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) have been limited. However, since 2019, the efficacy and safety o...

description | Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a poor prognosis. Among the various complications of SSc, treatment options for the fibrotic lesions, skin sclerosis, and SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) have been limited. However, since 2019, the efficacy and safety of nintedanib, tocilizumab, and rituximab for SSc or SSc-ILD have been demonstrated in double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials, respectively. The antifibrotic agent nintedanib was approved for SSc-ILD in all regions of the United States, Europe, and Japan after the SENSCIS study confirmed that it suppressed the reduction in forced vital capacity (FVC), a measure of SSc-ILD. Tocilizumab, an anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibody, was approved for the treatment of SSc-ILD in the United States after the FocuSSced study showed that it inhibited the decrease in FVC. Rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, showed improvement in both modified Rodnan skin score, a measure of skin sclerosis, and FVC in the DESIRES study, and was approved in Japan for the treatment of SSc itself. With the development of these three drugs, SSc treatment is entering a new era. This paper outlines the latest advances in SSc therapeutics, focusing on nintedanib, tocilizumab, and rituximab. |
