The invention concerns KDM5A inhibitors for use in prevention or treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies such as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, necrotizing autoimmune myopathy, and in particular sporadic inclusion body myositis, and diagnosis of these diseases based on KDM5A expression levels in muscle tissue. The invention further concerns pharmaceutical compositions comprising KDM5A inhibitors for use in prevention or treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies such as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, necrotizing autoimmune myopathy, and in particular sporadic inclusion body myositis.

An anti-aggregation agent of the present invention contains, as an anti-aggregation ingredient, at least one selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene cetyl ether, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycols having an average molecular weight of 3000 to 13000 and combinations thereof. According to the present invention, in a container whose inner wall is treated with silicone oil, aggregation of a poorly water-soluble drug caused by the silicone oil can be prevented.
