Eligibility Inclusion Criteria - Male or females between 18 and 80 years of age (inclusive) at the time of consent. - Diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSC) as defined by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. - Onset of the first non-Raynaud's manifestation of SSC within 7 years of Screening. - Subjects are required to meet at least one of the following 2 pulmonary-related criteria to be eligible for the study:. i) FVC readings = 70% and = 80% at Screening and Baseline (Visit 2) with a documented history of either or both of:. A. A = 5% decrease (expressed as percent predicted or in liters) in FVC in the 24-month period prior to Baseline (Visit 2) based on 3 or more assessments. Two assessments may be done during the Screening phase provided the assessments are completed at least 2 weeks apart. B.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen during the course of a study. A TEAE is any AE that began or worsened on or after the start of study drug through 28 days after the last dose. A treatment-related TEAE is a TEAE which was considered by the investigator to be related to study drug. The severity/intensity of AEs was assessed by the investigator as Mild (asymptomatic or mild symptoms; intervention not indicated), Moderate (symptoms cause moderate discomfort, intervention may be required), or Severe (symptoms cause severe discomfort/pain, requiring medical intervention, inability to perform daily activities). A serious AE is any AE that: - Resulted in death; - Was life-threatening; - Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization - Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; - Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; - Constituted an important medical event. From the start of study drug to 28 days after last dose; Treatment Phase median duration of treatment was 358 and 320 days for Placebo and Pomalidomide; Extension phase median duration of treatment was 161 days and 194 days for Placebo and pomalidomide.
Primary Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 52 Forced vital capacity (FVC) is a pulmonary function test and is the volume of air in the lungs that can forcibly be blown out after a full inhalation. Percent predicted values are based comparison between the participant's measured value with expected FVC for someone of the same sex, age and height (reference value). For the analysis of FVC, the baseline value was defined as the average of all values between Screening and Baseline (inclusive), and the average of Weeks 48 and 52 was treated as the Week 52 value, to reduce the total data variability at the key time points. Baseline (defined as the average of all values between Screening and Baseline) and Weeks 48 and 52
Primary Change From Baseline in the Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) at Week 52/Early Termination Improvement in skin thickening is associated with improved survival and may be useful as a surrogate measurement in clinical studies. The mRSS is an assessment tool which is used to evaluate the extent and severity of the skin thickening associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Seventeen body areas were evaluated on a 4-point scale (0 [normal], 1 [mild], 2 [moderate]), or 3 [severe]). The total score, which is the sum of the 17 individual body assessments, can range from 0 to 51. Baseline and Week 52 (or the Treatment Phase Early Termination visit)

The items are scored on a scale from 0 to 3, where 0 indicates better health and 3 indicates worse health (except for Questions 15 and 31 which are scored as 0 (better health) or 1 (worse health). The total score is calculated as the average of the first 6 scale scores (excluding constipation) which captures overall burden (severity) of SSc-associated GIT. The overall score ranges from 0 to 3, where higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. Baseline and Week 52 (or Treatment Phase Early Termination visit)
Secondary Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity Over Time Forced vital capacity (FVC) is a pulmonary function test and is the volume of air in the lungs that can forcibly be blown out after a full inhalation.

Secondary Change From Baseline in Dyspnea Functional Impairment at Week 12 The Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) provides interview-based measurements of breathlessness related to activities of daily living.

Secondary Change From Baseline in Dyspnea Magnitude of Effort at Week 52/Early Termination The Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) provides interview-based measurements of breathlessness related to activities of daily living. The TDI is an evaluative instrument that includes specific criteria for each of three components (functional impairment, magnitude of task and magnitude of effort) to measure changes from a baseline state. At Baseline magnitude of task was assessed on a scale from Grade 0 (becomes short of breath at rest, while sitting or lying) to Grade 4 (becomes short of breath only with greatest imaginable effort). Changes in dyspnea magnitude of task were assessed on a scale from Major Deterioration (severe decrease in effort from Baseline to avoid shortness of breath, activities take 50-100% longer to complete) to Major Improvement (able to do things with much greater effort than previously with few, if any, pauses). Further impairment for other reasons includes participants with reduced exertion capacity for reasons other than shortness of breath. Week 52 or at the Treatment Phase Early Termination visit
Secondary Change From Baseline in Dyspnea Magnitude of Effort at Week 64 The Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) provides interview-based measurements of breathlessness related to activities of daily living. The TDI is an evaluative instrument that includes specific criteria for each of three components (functional impairment, magnitude of task and magnitude of effort) to measure changes from a baseline state. At Baseline magnitude of task was assessed on a scale from Grade 0 (becomes short of breath at rest, while sitting or lying) to Grade 4 (becomes short of breath only with greatest imaginable effort).

Secondary Change From Baseline in Dyspnea Magnitude of Effort at Week 76 The Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) provides interview-based measurements of breathlessness related to activities of daily living. The TDI is an evaluative instrument that includes specific criteria for each of three components (functional impairment, magnitude of task and magnitude of effort) to measure changes from a baseline state.

Secondary Change From Baseline in Dyspnea Magnitude of Effort at Week 156/Early Termination The Transition Dyspnea Index (TDI) provides interview-based measurements of breathlessness related to activities of daily living. The TDI is an evaluative instrument that includes specific criteria for each of three components (functional impairment, magnitude of task and magnitude of effort) to measure changes from a baseline state. At Baseline magnitude of task was assessed on a scale from Grade 0 (becomes short of breath at rest, while sitting or lying) to Grade 4 (becomes short of breath only with greatest imaginable effort).

Further impairment for other reasons includes participants with reduced exertion capacity for reasons other than shortness of breath. Week 156 or at the Extension Phase Early Termination visit
Secondary Oxygen Saturation Over Time Oxygen saturation was measured by pulse oximetry. Baseline and Weeks 12, 24, 52 (or at the Treatment Phase Early Termination visit), 64, 76, and 156 (or the Extension Phase Early Termination visit).
Secondary Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Pomalidomide in Plasma Pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses were not conducted as there were too few participants with available data. Day 1 and week 4 pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-dose.
