About this study
Official title: Real-world Experience With Deucravacitinib for the Treatment of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies -- a Prospective Observational Study
This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics and mechanism of Deucravacitinib in the treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.Detailed Description: The investigators designed a single center, open-label, prospective study. Adults with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathies will be enrolled, meeting the Bohan \& Peter Dermatomyositis/Polymyositis(DM/PM) or Rheumatology(ACR) \& European allance of associations for rheumatology(EULAR)(2017) diagnostic criteria. Deucravacitinib 6 mg once a day was administered for 6 months to explore its efficacy and safety, which could help to evaluate Deucravacitinib clinical characteristics and mechanism. Patients would be evaluated the improvement of clinical and laboratory indexes. Changes of symptoms, immune cell subsets and cytokines were monitored. Symptoms were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of patient global and physician global, manual muscle testing(MMT-8), the Health Assessment Questionnaire(HAQ), Creatine kinase, Myositis Disease Activity Assessment Tool(MDAAT).

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
IMACS-defined improvement (time frame: week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07564271, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2026.
