KD025 in Subjects With Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes widespread microvascular damage and excessive deposition of collagen in the skin and internal organs. Limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis is primarily cutaneous, affecting the hands, arms, and face. Diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) is a more serious manifestation of the disease and is often rapidly progressive, not only involving the skin, but also involving internal organs including kidney, heart, and lungs.
