Overview
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 3 multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of lenabasum for the treatment of dermatomyositis. Approximately 150 subjects will be enrolled in this study at about 60 sites in North America, Europe, and Asia. The planned duration of double-blind treatment with study drug is up to 52 weeks.
Detailed Description
Subjects will be randomized to receive lenabasum 20 mg twice per day, lenabasum 5 mg twice per day, or placebo twice per day in a 2:1:2 ratio. The primary efficacy outcome at Week 28 will compare lenabasum 20 mg BID to placebo the Total Improvement Score (TIS), which is a weighted composite measure of improvement from baseline in six endpoints: Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Physician Assessment of Extramuscular Disease Activity, Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Health Assessment Questionnaire (patient-reported disability), Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and muscle enzymes.

- •Disease activity/severity fulfills at least one of the following three criteria:
- •MDGA ≥ 3 cm (0 - 10 cm Visual Analog Scale \[VAS\]) and MMT-8 score ≤ 142 (out of 150 total possible)
- •Sum of MDGA, PtGA and EMGA VAS scores is ≥ 10 cm (0-10 cm VAS for each)
- •MDGA ≥ 3 cm (0-10 cm VAS) and CDASI activity score of \> 14
- •Stable doses of immunosuppressive medications for DM as defined by:
- •Unchanged dose of oral corticosteroids ≤ 20 mg per day prednisone or equivalent for ≥ 4 weeks before Visit 1
- •Unchanged dose of immunosuppressive medications other than oral corticosteroids for ≥ 8 weeks before Screening
Exclusion Criteria
- •Unstable DM or DM with end-stage organ involvement at Screening or Visit 1

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Efficacy of lenabasum 20 mg BID compared to placebo BID as measured by Total Improvement Score (TIS)
Time Frame: Week 28
TIS from IMAC Core Set Measures (CSM) will be calculated following Aggarwal et al (2017) recommendations. Scores are based on a 0 - 100 scale; higher scores indicate better improvement in myositis.
Secondary Outcomes
- Subjects who achieve Definition of Improvement (DOI)(Week 28)
- TIS in subjects receiving immunosuppressive therapies (including corticosteroids) for > 1 year at Baseline(Week 52)
- Change in Forced vital capacity (FVC) absolute, in all subjects and those with interstitial lung disease (ILD) at Baseline.(Week 28)
- Subjects who improve by at least one category on the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale of skin activity(Week 28)
- Subjects who achieve TIS >= 40 (at least moderate improvement)(Week 28)
- Change in Forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted, in all subjects and those with interstitial lung disease (ILD) at Baseline.(Week 28)
- TIS at Visit 10(Week 52)
- Change in Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) activity score(Week 28)
- TIS, lenabasum 5 mg BID versus placebo(Week 28)
