New drug for Dermatomyositis

Posted by livinglife1 @livinglife1, 3 days ago

Has anyone heard when this could be available? What would it take the place of? Prednisone? Methotrexate? Plaquenil ?
Does it mainly help with skin part of the disease? Any thoughts?

Are you referring to Brepocitinib? There's some info on the Myositis page that you might find helpful with more links there:
