Systemic Sclerosis (hardening or tightening of the skin)-Related Interstitial Lung Disease is a rare disease that leads to severe health conditions. This study will test a drug called Efzofitimod to treat people with this disease. The study wants to see if the drug will help people with the disease and is safe. People in the study will be randomly chosen to be treated with Efzofitimod or a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but does not have the medication. The drug and placebo are taken as a liquid given under the skin. Being in the study will require 9 study visits at the clinic and last up to 32 weeks. Medical tests will be done during the study to track the health of participants. People will be paid for being in the study.
