International Workshop on Inclusion Body Myositis held at the Institute of Myology, Paris, on 29 May 2009.

摘要

This 1-day workshop was organized by Olivier Benveniste and David Hilton-Jones and assembled 20 clinicians, pathologists and researchers (see the list of participants) from four countries (UK, USA, Austria, France). This workshop followed one held in London 1 year earlier with some common participants [1] in order to reinforce a collaborative interface between several international groups actively investigating the clinical features, pathogenesis and treatment of sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM). To date, all drugs tested in randomized clinical trials (RCT) appear to be comparable to placebo [2-9]. Nevertheless, new molecules are emerging [10,11].
