A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Brepocitinib in Adults with Dermatomyositis

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Dermatomyositis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05437263
Lead Sponsor
Priovant Therapeutics, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of treatment with brepocitinib (TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor) in adults with dermatomyositis (DM). The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of two dose levels of brepocitinib in comparison to placebo, as measured by differences in the Total Improvement Score (TIS). After 52 weeks of double-blind treatment, participants have the option to continue therapy in a 52 week open-label extension phase where all participants will receive brepocitinib.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Improvement Score (TIS) at Week 5252 weeks

TIS is a composite endpoint based on improvement in the 6 Disease Activity Core Set Measure (CSM) scores and ranges from 0 to 100 (2016 American College of Rheumatology \[ACR\] Myositis Response Criteria/European League Against Rheumatism \[EULAR\]) where a higher score indicates more improvement

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
TIS responder rate after 52 weeks of brepocitinib administration QD, in comparison to placebo52 weeks

Proportion of responders, defined as achieving TIS ≥ 40 points (moderate improvement) at Week 52

Change from baseline in HAQ Disability Index score at Week 5252 weeks

Change from baseline in HAQ Disability Index score at Week 52. Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Disability Index: Score for function and disability from 0 \[without any difficulty\] to 3 \[unable to do\]. Higher score associated with worse outcome.

Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Area and Severity Index (CDASI) Activity Score after 52 weeks of brepocitinib administration QD, in comparison to placebo52 weeks

Change from baseline in Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Area and Severity Index (CDASI) Activity score at Week 52. Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index Activity Score 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.

Average daily prednisone-equivalent dose from Week 36 to Week 52 minus baseline52 weeks
