Combining systemic and locally applied cellular therapies for the treatment of systemic sclerosis

Melanie Velier et al.

Summary: Systemic sclerosis is a complex autoimmune disease that conventional therapies often inadequately address, especially for severe cases. Cellular therapies could offer a credible solution by targeting various components of the disease, including the immune system, vascular system, and extracellular matrix.

Autologous stem cell transplantation for progressive systemic sclerosis: a prospective non-interventional study from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation Autoimmune Disease Working Party

Joerg Henes et al.

Summary: This study confirms the efficacy and safety of autologous stem cell transplantation in the treatment of severe systemic sclerosis. It also identifies some prognostic factors that can affect treatment outcomes. Careful cardio-pulmonary assessment before transplantation, reduced cyclophosphamide doses, and CD34(+)-cell selection may improve treatment outcomes.

Cardiac safe hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for systemic sclerosis with poor cardiac function: a pilot safety study that decreases neutropenic interval to 5 days

Richard K. Burt et al.

Summary: The fludarabine-based regimen was relatively safe with a TRM of 2.4% and a neutropenic interval of only 5.2 days in systemic sclerosis patients with a high-risk cardiac phenotype. The addition of rituximab decreased 1-year relapse rate, risk of late secondary autoimmune diseases, and upper-respiratory tract infections.

Safety and efficacy of rituximab in systemic sclerosis (DESIRES): a double-blind, investigator-initiated, randomised, placebo-controlled trial

Satoshi Ebata et al.

Summary: The study found that rituximab is effective and safe in treating systemic sclerosis, particularly in improving skin sclerosis. Adverse events were similar between the rituximab and placebo groups, with upper respiratory infection being the most common. No deaths were reported during the follow-up period.
