Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in CMAS score [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months]
CMAS score is an index to assess the disease activity of JDM
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Changes from baseline of the patient's height percentile in the same age and sex crowd. [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36months]
the patient's height percentile in the same age and sex crowd is one of safety evaluation indicators.
- Changes from baseline of the patient's weight percentile in the same age and sex crowd. [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36months]
the patient's weight percentile in the same age and sex crowd is one of safety evaluation indicators.
- intraocular pressure [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36months]
the patient's intraocular pressure is one of safety evaluation indicators.
- triglycerides [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36months]
the patient's triglycerides is one of safety evaluation indicators.
