Summary

This study planned to test deucravacitinib, a drug already approved for psoriasis, in adults with hard-to-treat dermatomyositis (DM) or juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Participants would have taken a pill twice daily for 24 weeks, with clinic visits every 4 weeks. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.
