Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will carry out to assess the efficacy of GB-0998 in the treatment of the steroid-resistant polymyositis and dermatomyositis based on the changes in manual muscle strength (MMT) scores as primary endpoint, and in addition, to assess the safety of GB-0998.
