Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: To provide confirmatory data on the beneficial effect of 2.0 g/kg of Octagam 10% given every 4 weeks compared with placebo in subjects with active DM based on the percentage of responders at Week 16.
Secondary Objective: To evaluate the beneficial effect of Octagam 10% in subjects with active DM by assessing different parameters and scores at Week 16 and Week 40;
To confirm the sustained benefit of treatment with Octagam 10% by assessing the primary response measures at Week 40;
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Octagam 10% in subjects with DM.
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 16
Secondary Outcome(s)
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 16 and 40
Secondary end point(s): -Proportion of TIS responders by improvement category (minimal, moderate, major) at Week 16 and Week 40.
-Mean change from baseline (Week 0) to end of First Period (Week 16) in the modified Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI).
- Mean change from end of First Period (Week 16) to end of Extension Period (Week 40) in the modified CDASI.
-Mean change from Baseline (Week 0) to end of First Period (Week 16) and Extension Period (Week 40) in:
