NCT ID NCT05832034

First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) to standard steroid treatment early in myositis leads to faster improvement and prevents long-term disability. About 44 adults with recent-onset myositis (less than 12 months) will receive either steroids plus IVIg or steroids alone. The main goal is to see if the combination improves muscle strength and disease activity more after 12 weeks.
