Summary

This trial aims to test how well a combination of Pozelimab and Cemdisiran works in patients with sIBM.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients with sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis (sIBM), a muscle disease causing weakness and inflammation. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants must meet certain health standards and not have conditions that could interfere with the study or pose additional risks.
