Your health is important to us.

DM and ASIM are part of a group of rare conditions known as myositis that affect the muscles and, in some cases, other parts of the body such as the skin, lungs, or heart. Myositis is caused by a failure of the body’s natural defense system (immune system) to protect muscles and instead attacks and damages them. This causes people with myositis to feel muscle weakness, swelling, and pain. They may also experience general tiredness, a sense of unwellness, weight loss, and low-grade fevers. The current study is evaluating the effectiveness of the investigational medication in adults with DM or ASIM. The study team seeks to understand whether the medication is safe and works to reduce the symptoms of myositis. Consider signing up for this study today.
