As quoted in the press release:

Systemic sclerosis is a serious autoimmune disease affecting approximately 90,000 people in the United States and Europe and is associated with significant morbidity and up to 60% 10-year mortality. There are currently no drugs specifically approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for treatment of systemic sclerosis.
The international multicenter Phase 3 RESOLVE-1 study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of anabasum for the treatment of systemic sclerosis.
