简要总结

Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common late onset acquired muscle disease. Patients develop progressive weakness that may result in the need for assistive devices including a wheelchair. IBM may be due to abnormal immune activation, due in part to overproduction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Etanercept blocks the activity of TNF-alpha, thereby blunting immune overactivation. Previous unblinded studies and case reports suggest that etanercept may improve strength or slow the progressive weakness in IBM. We are conducting a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to test if Etanercept is beneficial in slowing the progressive weakness in patients with IBM.

  • Exposure to other investigational drugs within 3 months of study entry.
  • Subject with known hypersensitivity to etanercept.
  • Subject with active medical or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the principal investigator, may affect the interpretation of the safety and efficacy data or which otherwise contraindicates participation in the study.
  • Signs, symptoms or laboratory evidence of severe renal, pulmonary, hepatic, neurologic, or cardiac (congestive heart failure, or coronary artery) disease, including creatinine > 2.0, LFT > 2x the upper limit of normal and hemoglobin < 12.5 (male) and < 11.0 (female).
  • Subject with weakness from any other neurological or neuromuscular disease, including multiple sclerosis or other CNS demyelinating disease.
  • Subject with sepsis or any active, chronic, or local infection or on antibiotic, antiviral or antifungal medication within 3 months prior to the first dose of Etanercept.
  • A prior history of tuberculosis and/or a positive PPD skin test at screening (including reading of borderline, reactive but non-diagnostic) or prior inoculated subjects.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus infection.
  • Subject with history of opportunistic infection.
  • Subject with a known history of anti-Jo-1, anti-SRP or anti-MI-2 antibodies.
  • The presence of an associated connective tissue disease, including systemic lupus erythematous, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma or mixed connective tissue disease.
  • History of a new diagnosis or treatment of invasive malignancy within 5 years of enrollment, including patients with a history of squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma.
