Presented at #AAD2026:
In the VALOR trial of brepocitinib in adults with dermatomyositis, the 30-mg dose (but not the 15-mg dose) led to greater improvement on a composite myositis index at 52 weeks than placebo. Serious infections were more frequent with the 30-mg dose. Full trial results: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Noted dermatologist Victoria Werth speaks to @TheLupusForum about the importance of the U.S. FDA accepting CLASI as a tool to measure the effectiveness of potential treatments for cutaneous lupus – a debilitating type of lupus that targets the skin for which there are no specific treatments.
Dr. Werth credits this acceptance to the work of the public-private partnership — the Lupus Accelerating Breakthroughs Consortium — convened by the LRA with the FDA to advance development of new treatments for lupus.

✅ Autoantibody positivity rates were lower in patients with #dermatomyositis who used immunostimulatory #herbs, including:
- alfalfa
- ashwagandha
- chlorella
- and more,
before disease onset, according to a @JAMADerm study.
