Inclusion Criteria: * Must meet the American College of Rheumatology criteria for systemic sclerosis with diffuse cutaneous involvement and \< 24 months since the onset of the first SSc manifestation other than Raynaud's phenomenon; or has had an increase of MRSS by 5 in the last 6 months. * Must have a MRSS of ≥ 15. * Male or female patients ≥ 18 years of age. * Able and willing to give written informed consent and comply with the requirements of the study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Treatment with any investigational agent within 4 weeks of screening or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer). * Ongoing use of high dose steroids (\> 10mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or unstable steroid dose in the past 4 weeks. * Treatment with immunosuppressive (other than low dose steroids), cytotoxic or anti-fibrotic drug within 4 weeks of screening. * The patient has positive viral hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV serologies on screening laboratories. (Patients with a positive hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) test with a history of prior hepatitis B immunization are eligible as long as other criteria are met (i.e., negative tests for: hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\], hepatitis B core antibody \[HBcAb\], and hepatitis C virus antibody \[HCVAb\]).) * Known active bacterial, viral fungal mycobacterial, or other infection (including tuberculosis or atypical mycobacterial disease, but excluding fungal infections of nail beds) or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with i.v. antibiotics within 4 weeks of screening. * Patients must have a negative PPD tested within 6 months of the time of screening, or past positive PPD treated with appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis. * Patients with a history of malignancy within the past 5 years. * Moderate to severe hepatic impairment, i.e., Child-Pugh Class B or C. * Scleroderma renal crisis within 6 months or creatinine greater than 2.0 * Pregnancy (a negative pregnancy test will be performed for all women of childbearing potential on study day 0 and 42). * Male and female patients of child-producing potential must agree to use effective contraception while enrolled on study and receiving the experimental drug, and for at least 3 months after the last treatment. * Nursing mothers * Gastrointestinal involvement requiring total parenteral nutrition or hospitalization within the past 3 months for pseudo-obstruction * Moderately severe pulmonary disease with FVC \< 60%, or DLCO \< 50% predicted. * Moderately severe cardiac disease with either a history of significant arrhythmia (not to include conduction delays other than trifascicular block, or PVCs or PACs \< 5/minute), clinically significant heart failure, or unstable angina. * Hemoglobin: \< 8.5 gm/dL * White blood count \< 3,000/mm3 or total neutrophil count \< 1,500 * Platelets: \< 100,000/mm3 * AST or ALT \> 2.5 x Upper Limit of Normal. * Total bilirubin \> 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). Patients with Gilbert's Disease may be included if their total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 mg/dL. * Patients should not have received any live vaccine within 30 days of trial entry * Patients with a history of rilonacept allergy will be excluded. * Patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, have significant medical or psychosocial problems that warrant exclusion. Examples of significant problems include, but are not limited to: * Other serious non-malignancy-associated medical conditions that may be expected to limit life expectancy or significantly increase the risk of SAEs. * Any condition, psychiatric, substance abuse, or otherwise, that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude informed consent, consistent follow-up, or compliance with any aspect of the study * Current use of TNF-blockers within 4 weeks of screening
