Brief Summary

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe autoimmune disease associating dysimmunity, vasculopathy and fibrosis. No curative treatment is available. Pre-clinical abnormalities can be found such as specific autoantibodies. The association of Raynaud phenomenon and SSc-specific anti-nuclear antibodies is the hallmark of pre-scleroderma subjects, among who around 47% declare a complete disease after five years. The aim of this study is to assess in this particular population the preventive effect of an anti-platelet treatment.
