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.

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.
