Brief summary

This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of treatment with brepocitinib (TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor) in adults with dermatomyositis (DM). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of two dose levels of brepocitinib in comparison to placebo, as measured by differences in the Total Improvement Score (TIS). After 52 weeks of double-blind treatment, participants have the option to continue therapy in a 52 week open-label extension phase where all participants will receive brepocitinib.

Exclusion criteria

* Dermatomyositis with end-stage organ involvement * Dermatomyositis with irreversible muscle involvement * History of: * Any lymphoproliferative disorder * Active malignancy; * History of cancer within 5 years prior to randomization (exceptions for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix, or thyroid carcinoma.) * Cancer-associated dermatomyositis * Overlap myositis/connective tissue disease (except for overlap with Sjögren's syndrome) * Participants at a risk of thrombosis or cardiovascular disease * Participants with a high risk for herpes zoster reactivation * Participants with active or recent infections

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total Improvement Score (TIS) at Week 5252 weeksTIS is a composite endpoint based on improvement in the 6 Disease Activity Core Set Measure (CSM) scores and ranges from 0 to 100 (2016 American College of Rheumatology \[ACR\] Myositis Response Criteria/European League Against Rheumatism \[EULAR\]) where a higher score indicates more improvement

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dermatomyositis Outcomes for Muscle and Skin (DMOMS) at Week 5252 weeksDMOMS is a composite endpoint based on 4 component measures and ranges from 0 to 100 (Pandya, 2024) where a higher score indicates more improvement.
The proportion of participants achieving TIS ≥ 40 points (moderate improvement) at Week 5252 weeks
Time to achievement of consecutive (≥ 2 visits) TIS ≥ 40 points (moderate improvement) by Week 5252 weeks
The proportion of participants, regardless of baseline corticosteroid use, achieving TIS ≥ 40 points (moderate improvement) at Week 52 with 0 to ≤ 2.5 mg/day of oral prednisone (or equivalent) at both Week 48 and Week 5252 weeks
Change from baseline in Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) Activity Score at Week 5252 weeksCDASI Activity Score 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.
The proportion of participants achieving TIS ≥ 60 points (major improvement) at Week 5252 weeks
Change from baseline in HAQ Disability Index score at Week 5252 weeksChange from baseline in HAQ Disability Index score at Week 52. Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Disability Index: Score for function and disability from 0 \[without any difficulty\] to 3 \[unable to do\]. Higher score associated with worse outcome.
Change from baseline in CDASI Activity Score at Week 44 weeks
The proportion of participants achieving ≥ 40% improvement with a ≥ 4-point improvement from baseline in CDASI Activity Score at Week 5252 weeks
