Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how the study medicine, dazukibart, works in people with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (dermatomyositis \[DM\] or polymyositis \[PM\]). Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a group of disorders that show inflammation of the muscles used for movement. There are several types of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, including DM and PM. DM and PM involve weakness of the muscles closest to the center of the body, such as the muscles of the hips, thighs, upper arms, and neck. People with these forms of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies may find it difficult to climb stairs, get up from a seated position, or lift items above their head. People with DM can also have a skin rash. These disorders negatively impact the quality of life and functioning of patients. In addition to the above, these disorders can affect how the lungs and heart work. This study is seeking participants who took part in a DM and PM study with dazukibart before. Some participants will receive study medicine, and some participants will not receive study medicine and only complete safety follow-up. The study medicine will be given as an intravenous (IV) infusion (directly into the veins). This takes about 1 hour, every 4 weeks, from Day 1 to Week 48 (about 12 months) of the study. This will be followed by a safety follow-up period that lasts about 4 months after the last infusion. Participants who receive study medicine will have about 18 study visits at the site over about 16 months. There will also be participants enrolled in this study who will not receive study medicine. Such participants will only take part in safety follow-up visits as they do not want to or are not eligible to receive dazukibart. These participants will not receive study medicine and will have up to 4 study visits at the site every 4 weeks to complete safety follow-up.

Inclusion criteria

* Participants that completed a qualifying study through Week 52.

Exclusion criteria

* Any medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation/behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation. * Previous administration with an investigational product (drug or vaccine) other than dazukibart in a qualifying study within 30 days (or as determined by the local requirement) or 5 half-lives preceding baseline in this study (whichever is longer). * Current use of any prohibited concomitant medication(s). * Active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial or other infections. * Ongoing adverse event in a qualifying study or the participant has met safety monitoring criteria in a qualifying study that have not resolved. * Investigator site staff or sponsor employees directly involved in the conduct of the study, site staff otherwise supervised by the investigator, and their respective family members.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs, AEs of Special Interest, and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation52 weeksAn AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying), persistent or significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are AEs that are absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Pre-defined AESI for this study are outlined in study protocol.
Number of participants with clinically significant laboratory abnormalities52 weeksClinically significant laboratory abnormalities are those that meet the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) definition.
Number of participants with clinically significant abnormalities in vital signs52 weeksClinically significant vital sign abnormalities include pulse rate \<40, \>100 or \>120 bpm; systolic blood pressure increase from baseline ≥30 or decrease ≤30 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure increase from baseline ≥20 or decrease ≤20 mmHg.
Number of participants with clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities52 weeksClinically significant ECG abnormalities include mild (\>450-480 millisecond \[msec\]), moderate (\>480-500 msec or 30-60 msec increase from baseline), and severe (\>500 msec or \>60 msec increase from baseline) QTc prolongation.
Change from baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)/Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO)52 weeksFVC is the volume of air which can be forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. DLCO is a measure of gas exchange diffusion capacity.
Absolute values and change from baseline in Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)52 weeksC-SSRS assesses whether participant experienced following: completed suicide (1), suicide attempt (2) (response of "Yes" on "actual attempt"), preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior (3)("Yes" on "preparatory acts or behavior"), suicidal ideation (4) ("Yes" on "wish to be dead", "non-specific active suicidal thoughts", "active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act or some intent to act, without specific plan or with specific plan and intent), any suicidal behavior or ideation, self-injurious behavior (7)("Yes" on "Has subject engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behavior").
