- Responder Rate [ Time Frame: Weeks 17, 21, and 25 ]A responder is defined as a subject with a total improvement score (TIS) ≥ 20 points at Week 25 and at least 1 of the previous scheduled visits (Week 17 or Week 21), who completes 24 weeks of randomized investigational medicinal product (IMP) treatment without the use of rescue corticosteroid treatment. The TIS is a sum response criterion which incorporates 6 weighted IMACS core set measures (CSMs). Thresholds for minimal, moderate, and major improvement were ≥ 20, ≥ 40, and ≥ 60 points on the TIS.
- Mean Total Improvement Score (TIS) [ Time Frame: Up to Week 25 ]The TIS is a sum response criterion which incorporates 6 weighted IMACS core set measures (CSMs). A total improvement score (range 0 to 100), determined by summing scores for each CSM, was based on improvement in and relative weight of each CSM. Thresholds for minimal, moderate, and major improvement were ≥ 20, ≥ 40, and ≥ 60 points on the TIS.
- Mean difference (IgPro20 minus placebo) in TIS [ Time Frame: Up to week 25 ]The TIS is a sum response criterion which incorporates 6 weighted IMACS core set measures (CSMs). A total improvement score (range 0 to 100), determined by summing scores for each CSM, was based on improvement in and relative weight of each CSM. Thresholds for minimal, moderate, and major improvement were ≥ 20, ≥ 40, and ≥ 60 points on the TIS.
- Mean changes from Baseline in Manual Muscle Testing (MMT-8) [ Time Frame: Up to week 25 ]MMT-8 is a set of 8 designated muscles which will be tested bilaterally (potential score 0 to 150): 7 biaxial muscles with potential score 0 to140 and 1 axial (neck flexors) with potential score 0 to10. Improvement is documented with an increase in score.
- Mean change difference (IgPro20 minus placebo) in MMT-8 [ Time Frame: Up to week 25 ]MMT-8 is a set of 8 designated muscles which will be tested bilaterally (potential score 0 to 150): 7 biaxial muscles with potential score 0 to140 and 1 axial (neck flexors) with potential score 0 to10. Improvement is documented with an increase in score.
- Mean changes from Baseline in Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) total activity score [ Time Frame: Up to week 25 ]The CDASI in its modified version (v2) is a validated tool of skin disease activity (3 items) and damage (3 items) assessment. Scores range from 0-100 for activity and from 0-32 for damage. Improvement is documented with a decrease in score.
- Mean change difference (IgPro20 minus placebo) in CDASI [ Time Frame: Up to week 25 ]The CDASI in its modified version (v2) is a validated tool of skin disease activity (3 items) and damage (3 items) assessment. Scores range from 0-100 for activity and from 0-32 for damage. Improvement is documented with a decrease in score.
- Mean TIS [ Time Frame: Week 5 up to Week 53 ]The TIS is a sum response criterion which incorporates 6 weighted IMACS core set measures (CSMs). A total improvement score (range 0 to 100), determined by summing scores for each CSM, was based on improvement in and relative weight of each CSM. Thresholds for minimal, moderate, and major improvement were ≥ 20, ≥ 40, and ≥ 60 points on the TIS.
