Dermatomyositis is a rare condition that causes muscle inflammation. It presents with symmetric proximal muscle weakness, skin rash, and extra macular manifestations such as esophageal dysfunction and interstitial lung disease. Dermatomyositis is strongly associated with malignancy, especially in adults. Dermatomyositis is a systemic disorder that most frequently affects the skin and muscles but may also affect the joints, the esophagus, the lungs, and less commonly, the heart. Dermatomyositis presents with characteristic skin findings and symmetric proximal skeletal muscle weakness. It can also affect other organ systems such as the pulmonary, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. Various factors cause dermatomyositis such as genetic factors, immunologic factors, and environmental factors such as infections, drugs, and radiation.
Furthermore, there are three types of dermatomyositis namely, Adult Dermatomyositis, Dermatomyositis Sine Myositis, and Juvenile (Childhood) Dermatomyositis (JDMS). Dermatomyositis Sine Myositis is a term used to describe patients who are present with the dermatological features of dermatomyositis but an absence of associated muscle findings. Juvenile (childhood) dermatomyositis (JDMS) is an early onset form of dermatomyositis (DM), a systemic, autoimmune inflammatory muscle disorder with vasculopathy, characterized by proximal and symmetrical muscle weakness, evocative skin lesions, and systemic manifestations.
Market Dynamics
Market players are involved in the development of novel treatment for dermatomyositis which is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2022, Kezar Life Sciences, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced result from the PRESIDIO Phase 2 clinical trial of zetomipzomib (KZR-616) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM). The results of the PRESIDIO trial showed that most DM and PM patients saw clinically meaningful improvements in total improvement score (TIS).
