Medicine

Interventions/Control_1

Arm 1: corticosteroid (prednisolone) monotherapy for 24 months

Initial dose of oral prednisolone is 0.7 - 1mg/kg/day. (Maximum dose of prednisolone is 60mg/body/day.)
Intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy (0.5 - 1g/day for 3 days) is permitted according to the initial disease activity.
After 4 weeks of initial treatment, prednisolone is tapered by approximately 10 to 20% every 2 to 4 weeks (from 1 to 9 month) and continued at dose of 0.125 - 0.15 mg/kg/day or more (from 9 to 12 month) or 0.1 - 0.125 mg/kg/day or more (from 12 to 24 month).

Interventions/Control_2

Arm 2: combination therapy of corticosteroid (prednisolone) and tacrolimus for 24 months

Initial dose of oral prednisolone is 0.7 - 1mg/kg/day. (Maximum dose of prednisolone is 60mg/body/day.)
Intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy (0.5 - 1g/day for 3 days) is permitted according to the initial disease activity.
After 4 weeks of initial treatment, prednisolone is tapered by approximately 10 to 20% every 2 to 4 weeks (from 1 to 9 month) and continued at dose of 0.125 - 0.15 mg/kg/day or more (from 9 to 12 month) or 0.1 - 0.125 mg/kg/day or more (from 12 to 24 month).

Tacrolimus is administered orally at initial dose of 0.075 mg/kg/day (twice daily) and adjusted over time to maintain a whole-blood trough level of 5 - 10 ng/ml.

Key inclusion criteria

PM/DM/CADM-ILD patients who are positive for any of serum anti-aminoacyl tRNA-synthetase antibodies including anti-Jo-1 antibody and have not previously received treatment for PM/DM/CADM-ILD are included in this study.

Bohan and Peter criteria with slight modification:
1) systemic muscle weakness or myalgia, 2) increased serum muscle enzyme levels, 3) electromyographic (EMG) evidence of myopathic changes or muscular signal abnormalities on MRI, 4) typical histologic findings in muscle biopsies, and/or 5) characteristic dermatologic manifestations of DM.
The diagnosis is considered definite, probable, or possible according to the number of criteria fulfilled (at least 4, 3, or 2, respectively, including the dermatologic manifestations for diagnosis of DM), and patients with definite or probable PM/DM are included in the study.

Sontheimer criteria with slight modification:
CADM is diagnosed when a patient had 1) a skin rash characteristic of DM 2) without clinical evidence of muscle disease and 3) with little or no increase in the serum creatine kinase (CK) level during the observation period.

ILD:
ILD is diagnosed on the basis of the presence of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) abnormalities in combination with one or more of the following; 1) progressive on HRCT, 2) dyspnea on exertion (modified MRC score 1 or more), 3) PaO2 < 80 Torr, 4) %FVC < 80% or %DLCO < 80%.

Key exclusion criteria

Patients who meet the following criteria are excluded from this study:
(1) Patients who requires systemic high dose corticosteroid, immunosuppressants, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, plasma exchange, or biologic agents for a disease other than PM/DM/CADM-ILD at the registration
(2) Patients with severe respiratory failure (PaO2 < 50 Torr)
(3) Patients with contraindication of prednisolone or tacrolimus
(4) Patients with a serious comorbidity (e.g. advanced malignancy, imminent aortic aneurysm, and Liver cirrhosis)
(5) Patients with anti-MDA5 antibody
(6) Patients who are judged unqualified for this study by attending physician
