The FASST (For A Systemic Sclerosis Trial) trial is a phase 2 clinical trial sponsored by Inventiva Pharma.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IVA337 for the treatment of Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis.
IVA337 is a new drug with anti-fibrotic properties meaning that it might be able to act on several components of the fibrotic process and on several organs.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate in patients suffering from diffuse cutaneous SSc (DcSSc) the effect of 800mg and 1200mg IVA337 daily on the skin compared to placebo. The modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) will be used to determine the changes in skin.
