Sponsor's own description

The project is about dermatomyositis (DM), an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation in the skeletal muscles and skin. Patients with DM have an increased risk of cancer, with a cancer incidence between 5.5% and 42%. Cancers in these patients are one of the leading causes of death. Some myositis-specific autoantibodies have been discovered and some of them are associated with cancer development. However, DM patients negative for all the known autoantibodies can also develop cancer. The Investigator hypothesized that antibodies against plasma membrane antigens and soluble immune checkpoints can be responsible for the association between cancers and autoimmunity. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify novel antigens and immunological pathways in patients with DM with cancer versus patients with DM without cancer, to identify those patients who need cancer screening. The Investigators focus on soluble immune checkpoint molecules and autoantibodies directed against plasma membrane antigens.
