Percentage of Participants who Achieve at Least Minimal Improvement (>=20) in IMACS TIS
IMACS TIS is a standardized clinical response criteria to assess minimal, moderate and major clinical improvement in adult participants with IIM. Minimal improvement is defined as IMACS TIS >=20 in participants with IIM. The criteria use the 6 IMACS core set measures: PhGA, PtGA, MMT-8, muscle enzymes, MDAAT, and HAQ-DI. The absolute percentage change in each measure with varying weights is combined to obtain a TIS on a scale of 0 to 100. Higher score indicates greater improvement.

The overall score ranges from 0 to 100, where higher score indicates better physical function.
Change From Baseline in Functional Disability Using the Health Assessment Questionnaire-disability Index (HAQ-DI)
HAQ-DI score assess functional status of participant. It is 20 question instrument that assess degree of functional disability a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and common activities of daily living). Responses in each functional area are scored from 0=indicating no difficulty, to 3=indicating inability to perform a task in that area. Total HAQ score is average of the computed categories scores ranging from 0-3 where 0=least difficulty and 3=extreme difficulty. Lower scores are indicative of better functioning.
