A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Disease classification criteria: Participant meets the diagnostic criteria of probable or definite idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) based on 2017 The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for adult IIM at least 6 weeks prior to first administration of the study intervention
- If a participant is on regular or as needed treatment with low potency topical glucocorticoids (GC) that are allowed in the study or topical tacrolimus (TAC) to treat skin lesions, the dose and frequency should be stable for greater than or equal to (>=) 4 weeks prior to first administration of the study intervention as well as maintained at the same dose until Week 52 of the study
- Antibody positivity criteria: Any 1 of the myositis-specific antibodies (MSAs) positive: dermatomyositis (DM): anti-Mi-2 (Mi-2/nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase [NuRD] complex), anti-transcription intermediary factor 1-Gamma (TIF1-Gamma), anti- nuclear matrix protein 2 (NXP-2), anti-serious adverse event (SAE); anti- antimelanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA-5) antibodies. Or immunemediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM): anti- signal recognition particle (SRP) and anti- 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) antibodies. Or anti-synthetase syndrome (ASyS): anti- histidylribonucleic acid [tRNA] synthetase (Jo-1), anti- threonyl-tRNA synthetase (PL7), anti- alanyl-tRNA synthetase (PL12), anti- isoleucyltRNA synthetase (OJ), and anti- glycyl-tRNA synthetase (EJ) antibodies. If all MSAs are negative or more than 1 MSA is positive within different subtypes (defined by the central laboratory) at screening, the tests should be repeated during the screening period. If the same results are observed at retesting, the participant should not be enrolled in the study.

- Has comorbidities (example, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD]) which have required 3 or more courses of oral GC within 1 year prior to screening
- Has a history of primary immunodeficiency or secondary immunodeficiency not related to the treatment of the participants IIM.
