Summary

Dermatomyositis is a heterogeneous disease characterized by involvement of the proximal muscles of the extremities. Some patients have treatment failure or intolerance to the above treatment regimens, which is called refractory dermatomyositis. Abatacept has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of three types of rheumatoid immune diseases, and the international consensus of experts recommends abacepil as a second-line regimen for the treatment of refractory dermatomyositis based on the evidence of case reports.

Abatacept

Abatacept is a CTLA-4 fusion protein that inhibits T cell activation by competitively binding to CD80/CD86 and blocking the second signal. To date, Abatacept has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of three types of rheumatoid immune diseases (refractory rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and active psoriatic arthritis). The international consensus of experts recommends abacepil as a second-line regimen for the treatment of refractory dermatomyositis based on the evidence of case reports. However, to date, there is no relevant report or clinical study registration information of Abatacept in the treatment of dermatomyositis.
