A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Brepocitinib in Adults with Dermatomyositis
In this study, brepocitinib will be compared to a placebo. Brepocitinib is an investigational medicine because it has not yet been approved by any regulatory agency for use. Researchers will compare the results of taking the placebo to the results of taking the study medicine to see if there are any differences. This medicine may be helpful for your disease, but we do not have any information about this yet. 67% of participants will receive brepocitinib and 33% will receive the placebo which will be decided randomly by chance. Participation will last for up to 64 weeks (15 months). Visits will be scheduled about every 4 to 6 weeks.
