Secondary Causes of Myositis	2020-10-06		.txt	text/plain	3811	233	29	The term "myositis" is often used interchangeably with "idiopathic inflammatory myopathy" (IIM), referring to primary autoimmune diseases of muscle including dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis (IBM), antisynthetase syndrome, and necrotizing autoimmune myopathy [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] . Another case series of three patients with dermatomyositis-associated cGVHD showed improvement with immunosuppression via combination treatment of corticosteroids, tacrolimus, rituximab, mycophenolate mofetil, and/or IVIG [43] . Patients with polymyositis or dermatomyositis that underwent intensive aerobic exercise combined with resistance training in a randomized controlled trial have improved muscle function, quality of life, and possible reduced disease activity [89] . A pilot study of 20 patients with refractory dermatomyositis or polymyositis using abatacept found that almost half of their patients showed reduced disease activity and improved muscle performance after treatment for 6 months [98] , and there is now a phase III, randomized, double-blind trial to further evaluate abatacept for myositis treatment (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02971683).	./cache/cord-289457-06gwrpu0.txt	./txt/cord-289457-06gwrpu0.txt
