Brief Summary:
This study is open to adults aged 18 and older or above legal age who have systemic sclerosis. People can participate if they have a specific subtype called diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis. People with another subtype called limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis can also participate if they are anti Scl-70 antibody positive. Systemic sclerosis is also called scleroderma. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called Avenciguat (BI 685509) helps people with scleroderma who have symptoms due to lung fibrosis or vascular problems. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group takes Avenciguat (BI 685509) tablets 3 times a day and the other group takes placebo tablets 3 times a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 685509 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the tablets for at least 11 months. Afterwards, participants can continue to take the tablets until the last participant has completed the 11-months treatment period. This means that the time in the study and duration of treatment is different for each participant, depending on when they start the study. At the beginning of the study, participants visit the study site every 2 weeks. The time between the visits to the study site gets longer over the course of the study. After the 11-months treatment period, participants visit the study site every 3 months. During the study, participants regularly do lung function tests. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The participants also regularly fill in questionnaires about their scleroderma symptoms. The doctors regularly check participants' skin condition and general health and take note of any unwanted effects.

ResearchTrials.org is committed to respecting your Personal Information (defined below) and is aware of your concern for privacy when using ResearchTrials.org. Further to this commitment, we have adopted a company-wide Privacy Policy that guides how we collect, use, disclose, update and protect the information you provide to us and when we delete such information.
Probity complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and other applicable privacy and health information legislation. One of the underlying principles of this legislation is to obtain your consent in order to collect, use or disclose your Personal Information (defined below), and to ensure that you clearly understand the policies and practices regarding how this information is handled.
“Personal Information” is information about an identifiable individual. This includes any information that can be linked to an individual’s identity, such as name, address, email, telephone number, age, gender, occupation, survey information, site registrations or any other information that might reasonably be used to identify someone. It does not apply to the information of non-individuals, such as corporations and other business entities and, generally speaking, to business contact information of physicians (“Physicians”) or pharmaceutical companies/medical device manufacturers (“Sponsors”).
Probity attempts to collect and use information that is accurate, up-to-date, and as complete as possible. Probity collects Personal Information from you only when it is voluntarily provided. Registration is not required for use of ResearchTrials.org. Anyone can visit the site and read our content.

Probity collects your Personal Information for the following purposes (the “Purposes”):
to identify you;
to contact you about clinical research studies;
to enable a clinical research site in your area to contact you;
to confirm if your registration on ResearchTrials.org resulted in enrollment in any clinical trial, as well as the specific clinical trial(s) you enrolled in;
to ensure that we are achieving our goal of aiding enrollment in clinical trials;
to protect us both against error and fraud; and
to comply with legal requirements.
For Patients, the information you submit on ResearchTrials.org will be used for the above purposes. Because the clinical research sites are located in different countries, your personal information may be transmitted to your nearest research site (or research site you selected).
That research site may be in a different country than the location of the ResearchTrials.org database.
For Sponsors and Physicians, the information you submit on ResearchTrials.org will be used to contact you.
Personal Information will not be sold or rented and will not be exchanged with unaffiliated entities, except to fulfill the Purposes set out above, unless you are first notified and expressly consent to such transfer. Probity will seek to ensure that any third parties it shares your information with also comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Probity is aware of your concern for privacy when using ResearchTrials.org. Probity takes reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information as you transmit your information from your computer to our websites and to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. All information transmitted to our website is secured using industry standard physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to secure data against foreseeable risks such as unauthorized use, access, disclosure, destruction, and modification. You should keep in mind, however, that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from our website may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.
Your Personal Information is kept in strict confidence; Probity utilizes appropriate security safeguards to keep your information confidential and secure. Only authorized personnel have access to your Personal Information and we do not release your Personal Information to third parties other than those third parties that are necessary to satisfy the Purposes (as defined above) for which the Personal Information was collected, including third party service providers. While we cannot guarantee that errors, loss or unauthorized access to your Personal Information will not occur, our procedures and systems are designed to protect your Personal Information from such events. When your Personal Information is no longer required to fulfill the identified Purposes, the information will be destroyed, erased, or made anonymous.
When you are contacted by a third party to participate in a clinical research study, Probity is no longer involved or responsible for collecting or safeguarding any further Personal Information you may provide to that third party. As such, we recommend that you obtain information regarding their privacy policies before participating.
As we expect the need for participants in clinical research studies to be ongoing, the Personal Information you provide will be kept indefinitely. If at any time you wish to remove or update your information from our database, please contact our Privacy Officer by mail at:

Patients, Physicians and Sponsors have a right of access to their own Personal Information in a record that is in the custody or under the control of Probity, subject to some exceptions set out in applicable legislation. For example, organizations are required under PIPEDA to refuse to provide access to information that would reveal Personal Information about another individual. Further, organizations are authorized under PIPEDA to refuse access to Personal Information if disclosure would reveal confidential business information. Access may also be refused if the information is privileged or the information was generated in the course of a formal dispute resolution process.
If access is refused, in whole or in part, Probity will provide the reasons for the refusal. In cases where exceptions to access apply, Probity may withhold that information but will provide you with the remainder of the record.
