What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of orally administered GLPG3667 once daily for 24 weeks in adult participants with dermatomyositis (DM), followed by an open-label extension (OLE) period until Week 48.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but it mentions that participants can continue on a stable dose of up to three treatments for dermatomyositis, such as oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, if they have been on them for at least 3 months. It also notes that some therapies are prohibited, but details are not provided.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Adults with dermatomyositis diagnosed within the last 3 years, who have had a cancer screening in the past year. They should have tried first-line treatments without success or cannot tolerate them and must be on up to two stable DM treatments for at least 4 weeks. Those with permanent muscle weakness from non-DM causes, cancer-associated myositis, other types of myositis except secondary Sjogren's syndrome overlap, or recent use of prohibited therapies can't join.
