Prostaglandin analogues (PG) are a group of prostacyclin-derived drugs with properties that may address underlying complex mechanisms of SSc-RP. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of PGs in SSc-RP.

Objective: The Very Early Diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis (VEDOSS) EUSTAR study showed that, despite not showing any clinical sign of disease, patients with Raynaud's and antinuclear antibodies and/or capillaroscopy abnormalities often progress to systemic sclerosis (SSc) within 5 years. We aimed to determine whether VEDOSS biosamples show biological SSc activity pre-clinically.

Methods: Skin biopsies were histologically analysed.
