Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Exclusion criteria: Patients who meet the following criteria are excluded from this study: (1) Patients who require systemic high dose corticosteroid, immunosuppressants, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, plasma exchange, or biologic agents for a disease other than DM/CADM-ILD at the registration (2) Patients with contraindication of prednisolone or tacrolimus (3) Patients with a serious comorbidity (e.g. advanced malignancy, imminent aortic aneurysm, and Liver cirrhosis) (4) Patients who are judged unqualified for this study by attending physician

Age minimum: 20years-old
Age maximum: 80years-old
Gender: Male and Female
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
anti-melanoma differentiation antigen 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis (DM)/clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM)-associated interstitial lung disease
Intervention(s)
Patients without poor prognostic factors: combination therapy of corticosteroid (prednisolone) and tacrolimus for 12 months Initial dose of oral prednisolone is 0.7 - 1mg/kg/day (Maximum dose of prednisolone is 60mg/body/day). Intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy (0.5 - 1g/day for 3 days) is permitted according to the initial disease activity. After 4 weeks of initial treatment, prednisolone is tapered by approximately 10 to 20% every 2 to 4 weeks and continued at dose of 0.125 mg/kg/day or more in the study period (12 months). Tacrolimus is administered orally at initial dose of 0.075 mg/kg/day (twice daily) and adjusted over time to maintain a whole-blood trough level of 5 - 10 ng/ml. For patients with poor prognostic factors, attending physician can chose any treatments (e.g. corticosteroid, immunosuppressant, IVIG). The patients were followed up for 12 months.
Primary Outcome(s)
Progression free survival and progression free survival rate at 12 month in patients with anti-MDA5 antibody-positive DM/CADM-ILD without poor prognostic factors
Secondary Outcome(s)
"The patients without poor prognostic factor" Overall survival and overall survival rate at 12 month Change in FVC, FEV1, DLCO, PaO2, SPO2, KL-6, SP-D, anti-MDA5 antibody titer, Chest HRCT findings Incidence of adverse events "The patients with poor prognostic factor" Overall survival and overall survival rate at 12 month.
