What the trial wants to find out

To evaluate the efficacy of Pozelimab/Cemdisiran combination therapy in patients with sIBM

The group in the trial

  • INJECTIONOther group

    patients to receive Pozelimab 200mg/Cemdisiran 200 mg SC injections every 4 weeks for 104 weeks. SC injections will be administered by the study staff and the patient will be monitored for 30 minutes after the initial first injection. During the remainder of the study, injections can be administered at home by the patient or caregiver after injection training provided by the study staff. Designated persons will be observed to confirm their ability to perform the injections. The dosing window of the study treatment is within ±7 days from the scheduled dose date.
