Study Summary

Primary Objective: To evaluate, in comparison with placebo, the efficacy of SAR156597 administered subcutaneously for 24 weeks on skin fibrosis in participants with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the efficacy of SAR156597 compared to placebo on physical/functional disability in participants with dcSSc. * To evaluate the efficacy of SAR156597 compared to placebo on respiratory function of participants with dcSSc. * To evaluate the safety profile of SAR156597 compared to placebo in participants with dcSSc. * To evaluate the potential for immunogenicity (anti-drug antibodies response) of SAR156597 in participants with dcSSc. * To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (trough plasma concentrations) of SAR156597 administered subcutaneously for 24 weeks.

Primary Outcome

mRSS, an accepted clinical measure of the skin thickness (fibrosis). Investigator physicians or qualified medical personnel assessed the thickening of skin in 17 skin sites including fingers, hands, forearms, arms, feet, legs and thighs, face, chest and abdomen. Each skin site was rated on a 0-3 scale; where 0 = normal skin, 1 = mild thickness, 2 = moderate thickness and 3 = severe thickness. Total mRSS ranged from 0 (no thickening) to 51 (severe thickening in all 17 areas), where higher score i
