Summary

This study assessed the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BAF312 administered orally in patients with clinically active polymyositis and also in patients with polymyositis who had shown inadequate response to corticosteroids and or DMARDs (disease modifying antirheumatic drugs).

Detailed description

This study was stopped prematurely due to overall slow recruitment and no evidence for efficacy in a parallel study in dermatomyositis with an assumed similar pathophysiology. With very small sample sizes per group the overall results for this study including primary and all other efficacy and PD data are inconclusive
