Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new injectable medicine (anifrolumab) added to your usual treatments for polymyositis or dermatomyositis. It may help reduce disease activity if you have moderate to severe symptoms and are already on stable therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of polymyositis or dermatomyositis (moderate to severe).
- You must be on a stable dose of your current myositis medicines (like prednisone).
- You cannot have certain other muscle diseases, cancer, or serious infections.

This study tests a new oral medication, nerandomilast, for people with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (a group of rare autoimmune diseases causing muscle weakness). It aims to see if the drug can reduce disease activity safely. Participants must have moderate-to-severe symptoms and be on standard treatments.
This trial tests anifrolumab, given as a shot under the skin or through a vein, to see how it works in people with lupus. It may help if you have active lupus symptoms and are on standard treatments.
This trial tests if a new drug called anifrolumab can help treat lupus in people who haven't taken strong medications like biologics or immunosuppressants before. It looks at overall disease activity and the chance to reduce steroid use.
This study looks at how well anifrolumab works for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are starting it for the first time. It aims to see if patients can achieve a low disease activity state (LLDAS5) after treatment.
