Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male and female subjects ≥ 18 years old with the diagnosis of dcSSc according to the
2013 American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism

2. Must have disease duration (defined as interval from first non Raynaud disease
manifestation) of ≤ 6 years

3. Must have mRSS of ≥ 15 but ≤ 40

4. Must have active disease as determined by the Principal Investigator within the 6
months prior to screening

5. Adequate organ and bone marrow functions evaluated during the 28 days prior to
enrollment as follows:

1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L

2. Platelet count ≥ 100 × 10^9/L

3. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN)

4. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and serum
creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

6. Female subjects of childbearing potential have a negative pregnancy test at screening.
Females of childbearing potential are defined as sexually mature women without prior
hysterectomy or who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months. However,
women who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of
childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to prior chemotherapy,
anti-estrogens, or ovarian suppression.

1. Women of childbearing potential (i.e., menstruating women) must have a negative
urine pregnancy test (positive urine tests are to be confirmed by serum test)
documented within the 24-hour period prior to the first dose of study drug.

2. Sexually active women of childbearing potential enrolled in the study must agree
to use two forms of accepted methods of contraception during the course of the
study and for 3 months after their last dose of study drug. Effective birth
control includes (i) intrauterine device plus 1 barrier method; (ii) on stable
doses of hormonal contraception for at least 3 months (e.g., oral, injectable,
implant, transdermal) plus 1 barrier method; or (iii) 2 barrier methods.
Effective barrier methods are male or female condoms, diaphragms, and spermicides
(creams or gels that contain a chemical to kill sperm), or a vasectomized
partner.

7. For male patients who are sexually active and who are partners of premenopausal women:
agreement to use 2 forms of contraception as in criterion number 6b above during the
treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug.

8. Male subjects must not donate sperm for 3 months after last dose of study drug.

9. Able to provide written informed consent prior to the performance of any
study-specific procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 450 ms

2. Ongoing use or current use of concomitant medication known to have the potential for
QTc prolongation

3. Female subject who is pregnant or breastfeeding.

4. Participated in another study with an investigational drug within 28 days of study
entry (for studies involving biologics, within 3 half-lives of the biologic).

5. History or other evidence of severe illness or any other conditions that would make
the subject, in the opinion of the Investigator, unsuitable for the study.

6. Chronic heart failure with New York Heart Association Classes II, III, or IV.

7. Acute or chronic liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis)

8. Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test.

9. Active hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or positive whole blood
tuberculin test.

10. Diagnosed with any malignancy within 3 years of enrollment, with the exception of
basal cell or completely resected squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, resected in
situ cervical malignancy, resected breast ductal carcinoma in situ, or low risk
prostate cancer after curative resection.

11. Has had previous exposure to belumosudil or known allergy/sensitivity to belumosudil,
or any other Rho-associated Protein Kinase-2 (ROCK2) inhibitor.

12. Scleroderma renal crisis within 4 months prior to enrollment.

13. FVC ≤ 50% Predicted.
