METHODS: STRATUS was a Phase II, double-blind, parallel-group, multicenter trial (NCT02745145). Adults (?75 years) with SSc-ILD on stable mycophenolate were randomized (2:2:1) to receive intravenous abituzumab 1500 mg, placebo, or abituzumab 500 mg every 4 weeks for 104 weeks. Primary endpoint: annual rate of change in absolute FVC. RESULTS: STRATUS was terminated prematurely due to slow enrolment (n=75 screened, n=24 randomized), precluding robust analysis of efficacy. Abituzumab was well-tolerated; no new safety signals were detected. CONCLUSION: Further investigation of abituzumab for treatment of SSc-ILD is required.
