Summary

This study aimed to test deucravacitinib, a pill already approved for psoriasis, in adults with dermatomyositis or juvenile dermatomyositis that did not respond to standard treatments. The goal was to see if the drug could improve muscle and skin symptoms. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
