- Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo for the American College of Rheumatology Combined Response Index in diffuse cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis score. [ Time Frame: American College of Rheumatology Combined Response Index score through study completion, up to 1 year. ]The ACR CRISS exponential algorithm determines the predicted probability of improvement from baseline, incorporating change in mRSS, FVC % predicted, physician and patient global assessments, and HAQ-DI. The outcome is a continuous variable between 0.0 and 1.0 (0 - 100%). A higher score indicates greater improvement.
- Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo for the change from baseline in modified Rodnan skin score. [ Time Frame: Change from baseline through study completion, up to 1 year. ]mRSS evaluates a subject's skin thickness on a 4 point scale for 17 surface anatomic areas: 0 = normal skin; 1 = mild thickness; 2 = moderate thickness; 3 = severe thickness with inability to pinch skin into fold. The individual values of the 17 surface areas are summed to define the total skin score with a maximum score of 51.
- Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo for the change from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index. [ Time Frame: Change from baseline through study completion, up to 1 year. ]It includes 8 sections: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. There are 2 or 3 questions for each section. Scoring within each section is from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). The individual scores of the eight sections are summed and divided by 8. The result is the disability index or functional disability index. A higher score indicates more functional disability.
- Efficacy of lenabasum compared to placebo for the change from baseline in forced vital capacity. [ Time Frame: Change from baseline through study completion, up to 1 year. ]
