Anti-HMGCR antibodies are found in patients with statin-associated immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy and, less commonly, in statin-unexposed subjects with autoimmune myopathy. The main objective of this study is to define the association of anti-HMGCR antibody levels with disease activity. Anti-HMGCR levels, creatine kinase (CK) levels, and strength were assessed in anti-HMGCR positive subjects. Associations of antibody level with CK and strength at visit 1 were analyzed in 55 subjects, 40 of whom were statin-exposed. In 12 statin-exposed and 5 statin-unexposed subjects with serum from 5 serial visits, the evolution of antibody levels, CK levels, and strength was investigated. Antibody levels were associated with CK levels (p < 0.001), arm strength (p < 0.05), and leg strength (p < 0.05) at visit 1 but these associations were only significant amongst statin-exposed patients in stratified analyses. With treatment over 26.2 +/− 12.6 months, antibody levels declined (p < 0.05) and arm abduction strength improved (p < 0.05) in 17 subjects followed longitudinally. When analyzed separately, statin-exposed subjects developed decreased antibody levels (p < 0.01), decreased CK levels (p < 0.001), improved arm strength (p < 0.05), and improved hip flexion strength (p < 0.05) with treatment. Anti-HMGCR antibody levels did not normalize in any subject. In the entire cohort, initial anti-HMGCR levels correlated with indicators of disease activity; with treatment, antibody levels declined and arm strength improved. Statin-exposed but not statin-unexposed subjects had significant improvements in CK and strength, suggesting a phenotypic difference between statin-exposed and -unexposed anti-HMGCR patients.
