The study is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of tibulizumab over 24 weeks (Period 1) in adult participants with systemic sclerosis, followed by an open-label extension period where all active participants will receive tibulizumab and will be evaluated for an additional 28 weeks (Period 2)

[Period 1] Change from baseline in modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) at 24 weeks
The mRSS assesses skin thickness at 17 different cutaneous sites across the body using a scale from 0 (normal skin) to 3 (severe thickening), with a total score ranging from 0 (no thickening) to 51 (severe thickening in all 17 areas)
Time frame: Week 24
[Period 2] Safety and tolerability of tibulizumab
Assessed by the incidence of all treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), as well as changes from baseline in vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, and laboratory results
Time frame: Week 52
[Period 1] Change from baseline in quantitative interstitial lung disease (QILD) obtained with high-resolution quantitative tomography (HRCT) in the whole lung in participants with SSc-interstitial lung disease (ILD)
HRCT measures the extent of interstitial lung disease by quantifying the amount of lung fibrosis, ground-glass opacity, and honeycomb lung, which are used to calculate the QILD score (scores can range from 0 to 100%, with higher scores indicating greater disease extent)
Time frame: Week 24
[Period 1] Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) in participants with SSc-ILD
FVC is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after the deepest possible breath
Time frame: Week 24
[Period 1] Change from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
HAQ-DI evaluates patients' self-assessed degree of disability across eight categories, with scores ranging from 0 to 3, where 3 indicates the worst degree of disability
Time frame: Week 24
[Period 1] Safety and tolerability of tibulizumab
