Dr. Michelle Min, Director of Rheumatologic Dermatology at UC Irvine Health, shares results from the VALOR study, which tested an investigational, once-daily oral medication called brepocitinib for adults with dermatomyositis (DM).
In this year-long study, patients taking brepocitinib experienced meaningful improvements in muscle strength, skin symptoms, and overall function compared to placebo. Many were even able to reduce or stop steroid use — a major step forward for long-term care.
This is the first time a medicine has shown such strong results in a year-long, placebo-controlled trial for dermatomyositis — a rare autoimmune disease that affects both the muscles and the skin.
