THE DETECT STUDY: "A Two-Stage Prospective Observational Cohort
Study to Evaluate Screening Tests and the Incidence of Pulmonary Arterial
Hypertension / Pulmonary Hypertension (PAH and PH)". This study requires that
the patient be diagnosed with SSc > 3 years and have a DLCO < 60% with
FV>40%. The study requires a Right Heart Catheterization as this is the gold
standard for the diagnosis of PAH/PH. (IRB # 0807M39661) |

| PHAROS: This study is to identify patients at the highest risk for the development
of PAH in the future to determine if early intervention will prevent or delay the
irreversible disease. (IRB # 0710M18661) |
Active |
| The DISTOL-1 STUDY, a phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy of treprostinil diethanolamine in reducing the
digital ulcer burden compared to placebo in patients with SSc. In addition to
evaluating the prevention and/or formation of new ischemic digital ulcers, will be the
assessment of the reduction in total active ulcers, reduction in pain and the
assessment of patient function. (IRB # 0812M54822) |
Active |
| The G-WAS SCLERODERMA REGISTRY, funded by NIH: "A Two-Stage
Genome-Wide Association Study in Systemic Sclerosis. This primarily involves one
appointment which allows us to gather patient medical history information related to
their SSc, and one blood draw. There is no clinical examination. The data and
specimen collection will allow for study of specific genes as they relate to
scleroderma and potentially other autoimmune diseases. (IRB # 0812M55641) |
