An exploratory trial of a single dose of CAM2043 (treprostinil subcutaneous depot) in SSc-related RP.

Summary: Raynaud's phenomenon causes painful, cold fingers for people with a disease called systemic sclerosis. Doctors tested a new, long-lasting medicine called CAM2043, which is given as a single shot under the skin. They gave this shot to 10 women and tested how well their hands warmed up after holding something cold. The results were promising! The women's fingers warmed up much better 24 hours after the shot, and their daily symptoms improved for over a week. However, all the women had redness and pain where they got the shot. Even so, this new medicine shows hope and will be tested more in the future.
