Phase 2
Conditions
Lung; Disease, Interstitial, With Fibrosis
Dermatomyositis
Interventions
Drug: Calcineurin Inhibitors
Drug: Steroids
Registration Number
NCT03192657
Lead Sponsor
RenJi Hospital
Brief Summary

This is a 52-week, randomized, open and routine treatment controlled study. This study will assess the safety and efficacy of basiliximab as an add-on treatment for interstitial pneumonia in clinical amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) patients. 100 CADM patients are planned to be enrolled in a single center.

Basiliximab groupCalcineurin Inhibitors1. Basiliximab: 20mg injection each time at day1 and day5, respectively. The first administration should be within 8 weeks after disease onset. 2. Calcineurin inhibitors: cyclosporin A 3-5mg/kg/d or tacrolimus 0.05-0.10mg/kg/d. 3. Steroids: 1mg/kg/d, calculated with prednisone.
