Exclusion Criteria:
- Primary diagnosis of inclusion body myositis (IBM), malignancy-associated myositis (defined as diagnosis of myositis within 3 years of cancer), immune mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) with a biopsy characterized as necrotizing biopsy or IMNM with positive anti-signal recognition particle antibody (SRP) or anti 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) auto antibodies. Participants with anti-transcription intermediary factor 1 (TIF1) gamma antibody or newly diagnosed (within 1 year) anti MDAT5 antibody should have had adequate screening for cancer within 12 months of Day 1. Adequate screening of cancer is defined as up-to-date age and gender appropriate screening as per national guidelines
- Primary diagnosis of juvenile DM, or adult participants previously diagnosed with juvenile DM
- Any other active concurrent connective tissue disease associated with inflammatory myopathy in the Investigator's opinion. Eligibility of participants with diagnosis of concurrent connective tissue disease(s) will be reviewed and approved by an idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) expert committee
- Severe interstitial lung disease defined as supplemental oxygen required at rest, or forced vital capacity (FVC) of <60 percent (%) predicted. Participants within 1 year of PM/DM diagnosis and anti-MDA5 antibody, should have been evaluated for interstitial lung disease (ILD) with high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) Chest
- Any uncontrolled disease (for example [e.g.], severe respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, psychiatric, hematological, metabolic [including thyroiditis with increased/decreased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)], renal [Estimated glomerular filtration rate < 40 milliliter per minute/1.73 m^2 as calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation by the central laboratory], hepatic, endocrine/reproductive organ disease) other than DM/PM, that in the Investigator's or Sponsor/designee's opinion constitutes an inappropriate risk or contraindication for participation in the study or that could interfere with the study objectives, conduct, or evaluation
- Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply
