Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it is safe and effective for people with Huntington's disease. The trial will last for 52 weeks and will include people who take the drug and people who take a placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis, a skin condition causing thickening and hardening. Participants must have certain severity scores, no recent severe heart issues or organ transplants, stable medication use if applicable, and agree to birth control measures.

What is being tested?
The study tests HZN-825 taken once (QD) or twice daily (BID) against a placebo over 52 weeks to assess its effectiveness in treating systemic sclerosis. It's randomized and double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives the actual drug versus placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, potential side effects of drugs like HZN-825 could include gastrointestinal discomfort, skin reactions at the site of application or biopsy, fatigue due to immune system modulation, and possible abnormal liver function tests.
