About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Myositis are rare diseases for which the development of a cohort associated with a bank of biological samples (biobank) will allow for the conduct of researches to better delineate the underlying pathophysiology and find cures. This prospective cohort of patients with myositis will allow for identification of factors favouring the occurrence of myositis, whether they are constitutional (genetic) or acquired (environmental or drug). Different subgroups of myositis used for prognostication will be identified based on clinico-demographical variables, the nature of the organs involved beyond peripheral muscles (cardiac, diaphragm) and biomarkers abnormalities

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
  4. What happens if I want to stop?
