Percentage Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Serum Creatine Kinase (CK) Levels
All laboratory samples were obtained prior to administration of study drug at applicable visits. CK levels were measured by a central laboratory.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Number of Participants Who Experienced a Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
A TEAE was defined as: * An adverse event (AE) that occurred after study treatment start that was not present at the time of treatment start. * An AE that increased in severity after treatment start if the event was present at the time of treatment start.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) to end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Number of Participants Who Achieve at Least Minimal Response Based on the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) Response Criteria Scale
The ACR/EULAR scale utilized a conjoint analysis-based continuous model using absolute percent change from Baseline in core set measures (physician, patient, and Myositis Disease Activity Assessment Tool (MDAAT); muscle strength; Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ); and muscle enzyme levels). A total improvement score (range 0-100) was determined by summing scores for each core set measure and comparing improvement in each respective core set measure. The threshold for minimal improvement was ≥20 in the total improvement score with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Triple Timed Up and Go Test (3TUG) Time
The 3TUG test involved the ambulatory participant getting up from a seated position in a chair, walking at their normal pace for 3 meters, turning around, walking back to the chair, and sitting down. This sequence was repeated 3 times without rest, and the 3TUG test time is the average of the 3 lap times. A negative change from baseline indicated a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Proximal Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) Score
The proximal MMT assessed muscle strength using manual muscle testing in 7 muscle groups (left and right sides assessed separately). The total MMT score for this study, inclusive of both sides, could range from 0-140, where 0 means no strength in any muscles and 140 means full strength in all the muscles examined. A negative change from Baseline indicated a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Physician Global Activity Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score
The Physician Global Activity VAS Score measured the treating physician's global evaluation of the participant's overall disease activity using a 10 cm VAS labelled with "no activity" at the left end and "maximum activity" at the right end. The Physician Global Activity VAS Score ranged from 0 (absent extramuscular disease activity) to 10 (maximum extramuscular disease activity). A negative change from Baseline indicated a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Patient Global Activity VAS Score
The Patient Global Activity VAS Score measured the treating participant's global evaluation of their overall disease activity using a 10 cm VAS labelled with "no activity" at the left end and "maximum activity" at the right end. The Patient Global Activity VAS score ranged from 0 (absent extramuscular disease activity) to 10 (maximum extramuscular disease activity). A negative change from Baseline indicated a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in HAQ Score
The HAQ had 8 sections: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities with 2 to 3 questions for each section. Scoring within each section ranged from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). The total HAQ score was then calculated by summing the scores and dividing by the number of categories answered. The total HAQ score for this study could range from 0-3, where 0 means no functional impairment and 3 means complete functional impairment. A negative change from Baseline indicated a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in MDAAT Extramuscular Disease Activity VAS Score
The MDAAT extramuscular disease activity VAS score measured the degree of disease activity of extramuscular organ systems and muscle. The scoring was performed by the physician and ranged from 0 (absent extramuscular disease activity) to 10 (maximum extramuscular disease activity). A negative change from Baseline indicated a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale Score
The FACIT-Fatigue Scale is a 13-item tool which measured an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. The level of fatigue was measured on a 4-point Likert scale. The total FACIT-Fatigue Scale score for this study could range from 0-52, where 0 means the participants were very much fatigued during their usual daily activities and 52 means the participants were not at all fatigued during their usual daily activities. A negative change from Baseline indicated a worse outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and end of Main Portion (Week 8)
This study was performed in 4 countries (France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America) between 07 November 2019 and 14 June 2021.

Documents are hosted by the registry — open the source record to download them.
Plan to share: Yes — Data from this trial may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized individual patient-level data and redacted trial documents which may include: analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a prespecified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if the risk of re-identifying trial participants is determined to be too high after the trial is completed; in this case and to protect participants, individual patient-level data would not be made available.
