| Proportion of TIS Responders by Improvement Category at Week 40 | 40 weeks | The TIS (Total Improvement Score) is a scale from 0 to 100 that allows for the discrimination between minimal, moderate and major responders depending on their improvement in the combined 6 CSM: ≥20 to 39 points being minimal improvement, ≥40 to 59 points being moderate improvement, and ≥60 points being major improvement. At Least Minimal: Total number of all patients who had minimal, moderate, or major response. At Least Moderate: Number of patients who had moderate or major response. At Least Major: Number of patients who had a major response. |
| Mean Change From Baseline (Week 0) to End of First Period (Week 16) in the Modified Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) | First 16 weeks | The modified CDASI has 3 activity measures (erythema, scale, and erosion/ulceration) and 2 damage measures (poikiloderma and calcinosis) which are assessed over 15 body areas. In addition, Gottron's papules on the hands are evaluated both for activity and damage. Lastly, the activity of periungual changes and alopecia is assessed. Absence of skin lesions as described above is scored with 0 for each of the above described areas. Skin lesion will be scored with at least 1 (present), some lesions will be graded from 1 (less severe) to 2 (severe); others with 1, 2 or 3. For the total activity score as well as for the total damage score the sub-scores will be added up. The score for total activity ranges from 0 to 100, for total damage from 0 to 32 points. Higher scores indicate greater disease activity or greater disease damage respectively. |

| Mean TIS From Baseline (Week 0) to End of First Period (Week 16) and From Baseline (Week 0) to End of Extension Period (Week 40) | Up to 40 weeks | The TIS (Total Improvement Score) is a scale from 0 to 100 that allows for the discrimination between minimal, moderate and major responders depending on their improvement in the combined 6 CSM: ≥20 to 39 points being minimal improvement, ≥40 to 59 points being moderate improvement, and ≥60 points being major improvement. |
| Time to Minimal, Moderate and Major Improvement in TIS | Up to 40 weeks | When interpreting these time to event evaluations, one has to keep in mind that eventually all patients were treated with octagam 10%, so that differences in time to response for the Overall Period reflect this delayed start of treatment rather than the true difference between treatment with octagam 10% and placebo. |
| Time to Confirmed Deterioration in the First Period and Overall | Up to 40 weeks | Confirmed deterioration is defined as disease worsening on 2 consecutive visits. Worsening criteria are defined as either Physician's Global Disease Activity worsening ≥2cm and Manual Muscle Testing worsening ≥20% or Extra-muscular Activity worsening ≥2cm or any 3 of the following scores worsening by ≥30%: Physician's Global Disease Activity, Manual Muscle Test, Extra-muscular Activity, Patient's Global Disease Activity or Health Assessment Questionnaire. |

| Placebo Subjects randomized to placebo will receive 4 infusions of placebo every 4 weeks during the blinded First Period (16 weeks). If confirmed deterioration (deterioration at 2 consecutive visits) during the First Period, subjects will be switched to Octagam 10%. After response assessment at Week 16, all subjects with no confirmed deterioration and subjects switched to Octagam 10% due to confirmed deterioration but without further confirmed deterioration during the First Period will continue to receive 2.0 g/kg of Octagam 10% every 4 weeks during the subsequent 6-months open-label Extension Period. At Week 28, subjects who are stable on 2.0 g/kg Octagam 10% can be switched to 1.0 g/kg Octagam 10%, at the discretion of the investigator. Subjects randomized to placebo and switched to Octagam 10% due to confirmed deterioration, who deteriorate also during Octagam 10% treatment at 2 consecutive visits will drop-out after response assessment at Week 16 and will not enter the Extension Period. | 48 |

Mean Change From Baseline (Week 0) to End of First Period (Week 16) and Extension Period (Week 40) in: Health Assessment Questionnaire
Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ); a generic rather than a disease-specific instrument; comprised of 8 sections: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. There are 2 or 3 questions for each section. Scoring within each section is from 0 \[without any difficulty\] to 3 \[unable to do\]. For each section the score given to that section is the worst score within the section. The 8 scores of the 8 sections are summed and divided by 8). Assessment completed by patients. Lowest score 0 highest score 24. Higher score associated with worse outcome.
Time frame: From start of the trial till Week 40
Population: Different numbers of patients analyzed in each group due to patient discontinuation.

Mean Change From Baseline (Week 0) to End of First Period (Week 16) in the Modified Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI)
The modified CDASI has 3 activity measures (erythema, scale, and erosion/ulceration) and 2 damage measures (poikiloderma and calcinosis) which are assessed over 15 body areas. In addition, Gottron's papules on the hands are evaluated both for activity and damage. Lastly, the activity of periungual changes and alopecia is assessed. Absence of skin lesions as described above is scored with 0 for each of the above described areas. Skin lesion will be scored with at least 1 (present), some lesions will be graded from 1 (less severe) to 2 (severe); others with 1, 2 or 3. For the total activity score as well as for the total damage score the sub-scores will be added up. The score for total activity ranges from 0 to 100, for total damage from 0 to 32 points. Higher scores indicate greater disease activity or greater disease damage respectively.
