Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs and widespread vasculopathy. Patients with SSc are classified according to the extent of cutaneous sclerosis: patients with limited SSc have skin thickening of the face, neck, and distal extremities, while those with diffuse SSc have involvement of the trunk, abdomen, and proximal extremities as well. The disease course varies depending on the subtype of SSc. However, common features that result in significant morbidity and mortality, in addition to cutaneous fibrosis, include Raynaud's phenomenon and digital ulcerations, interstitial lung disease (ILD), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Current therapeutic options for patients with SSc and these clinical manifestations have shown limited efficacy.
