摘要

Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy and fibrosis of internal organs. Interstitial lung disease associated with SSc (SSc-ILD) occurs in up to 30% of all patients and is a key determinant of mortality. Treatment options include both immunosuppressive and antifibrotic medications. The updated guidelines from the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) provide, among others, specific recommendations for the management of SSc-ILD. The medications with the strongest evidence are mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide and rituximab but also to a lesser extent, tocilizumab. All these therapies are used off-label for SSc-ILD. In Germany, nintedanib is the only approved antifibrotic drug. A large German registry study has shown that the use of proton pump inhibitors provides a clear survival benefit in SSc-ILD. New therapies are currently under clinical investigation ranging from monoclonal antibodies to more advanced approaches, such as CAR T‑cell therapy, in refractory or rapidly progressive cases.
