carbon monoxide and Sclerosis, Systemic

carbon monoxide has been researched along with Sclerosis, Systemic in 71 studies

Carbon Monoxide: Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)
carbon monoxide : A one-carbon compound in which the carbon is joined only to a single oxygen. It is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, toxic gas.

diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (NCT00004563)
Timeframe: 12 months

Intervention% of predicted (Mean)
Cylophosphamide42.8
Placebo44.3

Forced Vital Capacity

The primary end point was the forced vital capacity (FVC, expressed as a percentage of the predicted value) at 12 months, after adjustment for the baseline FVC. (NCT00004563)
Timeframe: 12 months

Intervention% of predicted (Mean)
Cylophosphamide66.6
Placebo65.6

Total Lung Capacity

expressed as a percentage of the predicted value (NCT00004563)
Timeframe: 12 months

Intervention% of predicted (Mean)
Cylophosphamide70.5
Placebo64.7

Fibrosis Score, as Measured by Thoracic High Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT)

Imaging of the whole lung (WL) is performed using a volumetric high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) scan, which is then analyzed using a computer algorithm to determine the percentage of overall pixels exhibiting features characteristic for quantitative lung fibrosis (QLF). Higher percentages for QLF-WL therefore represent greater involvement by lung fibrosis. (NCT00883129)
Timeframe: Measured at baseline and Month 24

Intervention% of lung exhibiting QLF (Mean)
BaselineMonth 24
Cyclophosphamide Arm8.918.48
Mycophenolate Arm8.257.99

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), as a Percent of the Age, Height, Gender, and Ethnicity Adjusted Predicted Value

The primary outcome is the course over time from baseline to 24 months for the FVC %-predicted. The FVC %-predicted represents the adjusted volume of air (adjusted as a percentage of the expected normal valued based on the participant's age, height, gender and ethnicity) that can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. The FVC %-predicted is reduced in patients with interstitial lung disease and is used as a measure of lung involvement and disease severity. (NCT00883129)
Timeframe: Measured at study Baseline and Months 3, 6, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24

Health-related Quality of Life as Measured by the Patient Responses to the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)

The HAQ-DI asks questions related to 8 activity domains (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common daily activities) with the patient's capacity to carry out each activity scored from 0 to 3. Scores across all domains are averaged and a higher score represents greater disability. (NCT00883129)

Single-breath Diffusing Capacity for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO), as a Percent of the Age, Height, Gender, and Ethnicity Adjusted Predicted Value

The DLCO is a pulmonary function test that measures the capacity for the lung to carry out gas exchange between the inhaled breath and the pulmonary capillary blood vessels and the DLCO %-predicted represents the DLCO expressed as a percentage of the expected normal valued based on the participant's age, height, gender and ethnicity. The DLCO %-predicted is reduced in patients with interstitial lung disease and is used as a measure of disease severity. (NCT00883129)

Skin Involvement, as Measured by the Modified Rodnam Skin Thickness Scores (mRSS)

Skin thickness is quantified using the modified Rodnan measurement method (mRSS), with a scale that ranges from 0 (no skin involvement) to a maximum of 51. The reported skin score is determined by a clinical assessment of skin thickness, which is performed by a trained reader, and represents the sum of individual assessments that are made in each of 17 body areas. Each area is given a score in the range of 0-3 (0 = normal; 1= mild thickness; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe thickness). A higher score represents more severe skin involvement. (NCT00883129)

Total Lung Capacity (TLC), as a Percent of the Age, Height, Gender, and Ethnicity Adjusted Predicted Value

The TLC represents the total volume of air within the lung after taking the deepest breath possible and the TLC %-predicted represents the TLC expressed as a percentage of the expected normal valued based on the participant's age, height, gender and ethnicity. The TLC %-predicted is reduced in patients with interstitial lung disease and is used as a measure of disease severity. (NCT00883129)

Change From Baseline in Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) to Week 52

The mRSS is a validated physical examination method for estimating skin thickness. It correlates with biopsy measures of collagen in the dermis and reflects prognosis and visceral involvement, especially in early disease. It is scored on 0 (normal) to 3+ (severe induration) ordinal scales over 17 body areas, with a maximum score of 51 (higher score means worse situation) and is used to categorize severity of SSc. A decrease in the mean change of mRSS shows mRSS improved. (NCT02283762)

Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score to Week 52

The HAQ-DI is a composite measure from which a 'Standard Disability Index' score can be computed to assess a patient's disability level. Generally, a score of 0-1 represents mild to moderate difficulty, 1-2 moderate to severe disability and 2-3 severe to very severe disability. The HAQ-DI comprises 20 items that assess patient abilities across 8 functional activities: dressing, rising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and usual activities. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale: 0=Without ANY difficulty, 1=With SOME difficulty, 2=With MUCH difficulty, 3=UNABLE to do. The 8 scores of the 8 sections are summed and divided by 8. In the event that one section is not completed by a subject then the summed score would be divided by 7. The final overall HAQ-DI score ranges from 0 to 3 and positive change indicates worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL). (NCT02283762)

CRISS (American College of Rheumatology Composite Response Index for Clinical Trials) at Week 52 Reported as Number of Participants With a CRISS Probability >=0.60 or <0.60 From Baseline to Week 52

CRISS forms a composite response index consisting of SSc-related organ involvement and the following five variables: mRSS, FVC percent predicted, physician's and patient's global assessments, and HAQ-DI score (from SHAQ patient-reported outcome). The resulting index is a 2-step process that captures clinically meaningful worsening of internal organ involvement and the core variables that show change. Patients for whom the predicted CRISS probability was ≥ 0.60 were considered improved, while patients for whom the predicted probability was < 0.60 were considered not improved. (NCT02283762)
