A Randomized, Open-Label, Phase II Multicenter Study of High-Dose Immunosuppressive Therapy Using Total Body Irradiation, Cyclophosphamide, ATGAM, and Autologous Transplantation With Auto-CD34+HPC Versus Intravenous Pulse Cyclophosphamide for the Treatment of Severe Systemic Sclerosis (SCSSc-01)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating mHSCT and cyclophosphamide for Scleroderma, Systemic and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 75 participants across 17 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
SCOT is a clinical research study designed for people with severe forms of scleroderma. SCOT stands for Scleroderma: Cyclophosphamide Or Transplantation. The SCOT study will compare the potential benefits of stem cell transplant and high-dose monthly cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in the treatment of scleroderma.

Interventions
Hematopoietic progenitors were mobilized with G-CSF. After leukapheresis and CD34+ cell enrichment, the autologous product was cryopreserved. Fractionated TBI (800 cGy), CY (120 mg/kg) and equine antithymocyte globulin (90 mg/kg) were administered as previously reported (References provided in citation section of this ClinicalTrials.gov record: PubMed ID: 17452515 citation and 2.) PubMed ID: 12176878 citation).
An initial intravenous dose of 500 mg/m\^2 was followed by 11 infusions of 750 mg/m\^2 with mesna given for bladder protection.
