What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An Adverse Event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE was considered treatment emergent relative to a given treatment if the event occurred for the first time during the effective duration of treatment and was not seen prior to the start of treatment, or the event was seen prior to the start of treatment but increased in severity during treatment. AEs included both serious adverse events (SAEs) and all non-SAEs.

    Measured: From Day 1 of dosing maximum up to Week 68

  2. Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities

    Hematology laboratory parameters: hemoglobin (grams per deciliter [g/dL]); hematocrit (percentage [%]); lymphocytes (10^3 per (/) millimeter[mm]^3); lymphocytes/leukocytes (%); neutrophils (10^3/mm^3) less than (<)0.8*lower limit of normal (LLN), leukocytes (10^3/mm^3) <0.6*LLN, neutrophils (10^3/mm^3); basophils (10^3/mm^3); basophils/leukocytes (%); monocytes/leukocytes (%); activated partial thromboplastin time (seconds [sec]); prothrombin time (sec) more than (>)1.2*upper limit of normal (ULN). Clinical chemistry: potassium (milliequivalents per liter [mEq/L]); bicarbonate (mEq/L) <0.9*LLN, creatine kinase (units per liter [U/L]) >2.0*ULN, glucose (milligram per deciliter [mg/dl]); glucose-fasting (mg/dl) >1.5*ULN. Urinalysis: Urine glucose; ketones; urine protein; urine hemoglobin; nitrite; leukocyte esterase; hyaline casts (1/per leukocytosis promoting factor (more than or equal to [>=] 1, urine erythrocytes (scalar); urine leukocytes (scalar) >=20.

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Change From Baseline in Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) Activity Score at Week 52

    CDASI is a validated DM-specific instrument designed to systematically quantify the extent of cutaneous disease. Disease involvement in 15 different anatomical locations was rated using three activity (erythema, scale, erosion/ulceration) and two damage (poikiloderma, calcinosis) measures. The presence and severity of Gottron's papules, periungual changes and alopecia were also captured. Total CDASI activity score was based on the physician's evaluation of three activities (erythema, scale, erosion/ulceration), presence and severity of Gottron's papules, periungual changes and alopecia. Total CDASI activity score ranged from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicated higher levels of disability.

    Measured: Baseline (before dose 1), Week 52

  6. Total Improvement Score (TIS) at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48 and 52: Muscle Cohort

    There are 6 core set measure that comprised of TIS: 1) Physician Global Assessment Score [PhGA] (from Myositis Disease Activity Assessment Tool [MDAAT], 0-100 mm or 0-10 centimeter (cm) on visual analogue scale [VAS], higher scores= worse health status); 2) Patient Global Assessment Score [PtGA] (0-100 mm or 0-10 cm on VAS, higher scores= worse status); 3) Manual Muscle Testing-8 (MMT-8) designated muscle groups (0-80, lower scores= higher level of disability); 4) Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index [HAQ-DI] (0-3, higher scores= worse status); 5) Global Extramuscular Disease Activity (from MDAAT, 0-10 cm on a VAS, higher scores= higher level of disability); 6) Participant's most elevated muscle enzymes. TIS was sum of all 6 improvement scores associated with the change in each core set measure. TIS ranged from 0 to 100; where TIS>=20 shows minimal improvement, TIS >=40 shows moderate improvement and TIS >= 60 shows major improvement.

    Measured: Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48 and 52

  7. Change From Baseline in Physician Global Assessment (PhGA) Score at Week 12, 24, 36, 48 and 52: Muscle Cohort

  10. Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire and Disease Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48 and 52: Muscle Cohort

    HAQ-DI consisted of eight sections (including dressing \& grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, grip, reach, and activities). Each section had multiple questions that the participant used to rank their functionality and ranged from 0 to 3 where 0 = without any difficulty and 3 = unable to do. For each participant, the average ranking was calculated for each of the eight sections. HAQ-DI had a score range of 0 to 3, where higher score reflected worse status.
