- Total Improvement Score (TIS) at Week 52 [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]TIS is a composite endpoint based on improvement in the 6 Disease Activity Core Set Measure (CSM) scores and ranges from 0 to 100 (2016 American College of Rheumatology [ACR] Myositis Response Criteria/European League Against Rheumatism [EULAR]) where a higher score indicates more improvement
- TIS responder rate after 52 weeks of brepocitinib administration QD, in comparison to placebo [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]Proportion of responders, defined as achieving TIS ≥ 40 points (moderate improvement) at Week 52
- Time to initiation of rescue medication through 52 weeks of brepocitinib administration QD, in comparison to placebo [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]Time to initiation of rescue medication through Week 52
- Manual Muscle Testing (MMT-8) after 52 weeks of brepocitinib administration QD, in comparison to placebo [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]Change from baseline in MMT-8 score at Week 52. The MMT-8 evaluation includes 7 muscles tested bilaterally plus neck flexors, each scored from 0 to 10 for a potential score ranging from 0 to 150 where a higher score indicates more improvement.
