Phase III Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Oral Iloprost for Raynaud's Phenomenon Secondary to Systemic Sclerosis
 

OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral iloprost, a prostacyclin analog, in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to systemic sclerosis.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind study. Patients are stratified by participating institution and digital cutaneous ulcers.

Patients receive oral iloprost or placebo twice daily for 6 weeks. Thrombolytic drugs, oral anticoagulants, and heparin are prohibited on study. Concurrent therapy with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors for Raynaud's is prohibited; calcium channel blockers for severe digital ischemia are allowed as needed.

Patients are followed at 2 and 6 weeks.
