Inflammatory myositis (IM) is a heterogeneous group of autoimmune disorders characterized by immune-mediated muscle injury that results in muscle inflammation and skeletal muscle weakness. Corticosteroids, steroid-sparing agents, and other immunosuppressive drugs are the mainstay for the management of IM. In 2021, Octagam 10% (IVIg) was approved for the treatment of dermatomyositis in the United States and Europe. Targeted assets with novel mechanisms of action (MAb, JAK inhibitor, CTLA-4 agonist, CB2 agonist) are in late-phase development for the treatment of IM. Major unmet needs, including limited approved therapies for IM, present a lucrative commercial opportunity and could drive the future market dynamics.
