Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic autoimmune disease with distinctive cutaneous eruptions and muscle weakness, and the pathophysiology is characterised by type I interferon (IFN) dysregulation. This study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and target engagement of dazukibart, a potent, selective, humanised IgG1 neutralising monoclonal antibody directed against IFNβ, in adults with moderate-to-severe dermatomyositis.
Methods: This multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial was conducted at 25 university-based hospitals and outpatient sites in Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain, and the USA.
PF-06817024 is a humanized antibody against interleukin-33 that has the potential to inhibit type 2 inflammation. An exploratory analysis of the pharmacodynamics and clinical effects of single and repeat doses of PF-06817024 was assessed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), respectively, as part of a Phase 1, first-in-human study. Rhinosinusitis symptoms were improved, and nasal polyps were decreased in size following treatment with PF-06817024 in patients with CRSwNP.

Methods: This first-in-human, multicenter, double-blind, sponsor-open, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study recruited patients aged 18-70 years with SLE or RA. In Part A, patients received single doses of intravenous PF-06835375 (dose range: 0.
PF-06817024 is a high affinity, humanized antibody that binds interleukin-33, a proinflammatory type 2 cytokine, and thereby has the potential to inhibit downstream type 2 inflammation. This Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 3 parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics of escalating single and limited repeat PF-06817024 doses in healthy participants (Part 1), a single dose of PF-06817024 in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Part 2), and repeat doses of PF-06817024 in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (atoptic dermatitis; Part 3). PF-06817024 was generally well tolerated in all participant populations.
