  • Subjects with scleroderma renal crisis
  • Subjects with a concomitant life-threatening disease with a life expectancy <12 months

Treatment and study plan

Placebo IV Infusion

Drug

Study drug will be initiated at a starting dose of 0.5 ng/kg/min up to 2.0 ng/kg/min. Subjects will receive study drug for 5 consecutive days as an IV infusion over 6 hours each day via a peripheral line.

Iloprost Injection, for intravenous use

Drug

Study drug will be initiated at a starting dose of 0.5 ng/kg/min up to 2.0 ng/kg/min. Subjects will receive study drug for 5 consecutive days as an IV infusion over 6 hours each day via a peripheral line.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Frequency of Symptomatic RP Attacks

    Time frame: Day 8 - Day 21 will be compared to baseline

    The primary efficacy parameter is the change in the weekly frequency of symptomatic RP attacks from baseline.

    The baseline weekly frequency of symptomatic RP attacks was defined as the average number of weekly symptomatic RP attacks that occurred during the 10- to 25-day baseline ePRO diary completion period.

    The double-blind endpoint weekly frequency of symptomatic RP attacks was defined as the average number of weekly symptomatic RP attacks that occurred during Days 8 to 21, inclusive.
