This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of calcineurin inhibitor monotherapy (CNI) versus combination therapy [CNI and tofacitinib (TOF) or cyclophosphamide (CTX)] as initial immunosuppressive regimens for MDA5+DM. In our study, combination therapy may improve survival prognosis in MDA5+ DM patients. Nevertheless, vigilant monitoring for opportunistic infections during treatment is essential.

In the ex vivo evaluations, pitavastatin (0.5004 μM), eltrombopag (0.2548 μM), flavoxate (0.1536 μM), and empagliflozin (0.2548 μM) affected the phosphorylation of downstream STAT1 and STAT3 signaling molecules, similarly to tofacitinib citrate (TOF) (1.2 nM ). These results encourage further in-depth preclinical experiments aimed at exploring the additional effects of the JAK2-STAT1/3 signaling pathway.

Conclusions In patients not meeting 12-week targets on 10 mg, escalation to 15 mg yielded additional clinically meaningful improvement with a safety profile generally comparable to 10 mg. Selective escalation may be a feasible treat-to-target strategy where alternatives are limited.
