Inclusion criteria

* Has definite or probable DM based on the criteria of Bohan and Peter * Has a Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI)-Activity score ≥15 * Patients with muscle weakness are eligible; however having muscle weakness is not mandatory. * Study participants must have a diagnostic evaluation for cancer if the diagnosis of DM was within 2 years prior to the Screening Visit

Exclusion criteria

* Has ongoing severe dysphagia (e.g., requires a feeding tube) for the 3 months prior to Screening * Has known hypersensitivity to any oligodeoxynucleotide * Has a history of drug or alcohol abuse within one year of screening, or evidence of drug abuse by urine drug screening * Has body weight \>140 kg * Has a diagnosis of Juvenile DM, IBM, drug-induced toxic myopathy, metabolic myopathy, dystrophy, cancer-associated DM, or connective tissue disease-associated DM (e.g., overlap syndrome) * Has received one or more of following prohibited treatments within the interval noted prior to Screening (Visit 1): 1. Rituximab within 24 weeks (Note: patients who received rituximab are only eligible for inclusion if B-cell counts are confirmed to be within normal limits) 2. Intravenous corticosteroids within 12 weeks 3. Antimalarials (e.g., hydroxychloroquine) within 36 weeks 4. Topical corticosteroids (excluding scalp) within 2 weeks * Has evidence of or has required treatment for cancer (except for treated, non-invasive carcinoma of the skin or cured cervical carcinoma-in-situ) within 5 years * Has interstitial lung disease requiring the use of supplemental oxygen

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in CDASI (Cutaneous Disease and Activity Severity Index) Activity Score28 weeks (24 weeks treatment + 4 weeks follow up)Change from baseline in mCDASI (Cutaneous Disease and Activity Severity Index) v2-Activity score as measured at Visits 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22 and 26 (EOT/ Week 25). Index is Clinician administered one page instrument designed to evaluate the cutaneous manifestations of DM. CDASI yields a total score that captures overall disease state, an activity score (range:0-100) that reflects the current inflammatory state of disease and a damage score (range: 0-32). The CDASI includes separate measurements for disease activity and damage and yields a total score that captures overall disease state, an activity score that reflects the current inflammatory state of disease, and a damage score. Decreases in CDASI scores are indicative of improvement. In this study, Activity Scores were measured. The scores below are averaged.
