Active Dermatomyositis
A phase 3 double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, multicentre study investigated the effect of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in 95 patients with active dermatomyositis and found that 57.7% of patients receiving IVIg experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) compared to 22.9% on placebo (1). Eight thromboembolic events occurred in six patients on IVIg. The study concluded that IVIg has a favourable safety profile for treating adult dermatomyositis patients.

Active Dermatomyositis
A phase III parallel assignment study investigated the effect of botulinum toxin type A (Masport) and DYSPORT for the treatment of glabellar lines in 262 subjects and found that Masport is equally safe and effective as DYSPORT with a 50 unit dose up to 120 days (1).
