Compares treatment options for Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis
Official title A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Anifrolumab Administered as Subcutaneous Injection and Added to Standard of Care Compared With Placebo Added to Standard of Care in Adult Participants With Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06455449
What this study is testing
What is Anifrolumab (blinded)?
Anifrolumab (blinded) is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for polymyositis, dermatomyositis.
Also referred to as Treatment arm (blinded).
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous anifrolumab compared with placebo on the overall disease activity in participants with moderate to severe Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIM) [polymyositis (PM) or dermatomyositis (DM)] while receiving standard of care (SoC) treatment.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
