Pericarditis

This study tests whether the drug CardiolRx can prevent another episode of pericarditis (inflammation around the heart) in people who have had repeated attacks. About 110 adults who have been stable on an IL-1 blocker for at least a year will stop that medication and receive eith…

This study tests an injected drug called KPL-387 in 165 people with recurrent pericarditis, a condition where the sac around the heart becomes inflamed again and again. The goal is to see if KPL-387 can reduce flare-ups and pain better than a placebo. Participants must have sympt…

This study tests a new drug called KPL-387 in 80 people with well-controlled recurrent pericarditis (inflammation around the heart). The goal is to see if patients can safely switch from their current treatments to KPL-387 alone and still prevent flare-ups. The trial will measure…

This study tests an experimental drug called VTX2735 in 50 adults with recurrent pericarditis, a condition where the heart's lining becomes inflamed and painful. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and can reduce pain and inflammation. Participants receive different doses over…

This study is testing a special vest called HALD that records heart and lung sounds. Researchers want to see if the recordings are as accurate as what a doctor hears with a stethoscope. About 200 adults with or without heart or lung conditions will wear the vest during a clinic v…

This study aims to learn how well heart scans (MRI, ultrasound, PET) can detect and predict outcomes in people with suspected or known inflammatory heart diseases. Researchers will follow 5,000 adults for one year to see how often heart involvement is confirmed and how it affects…

This study is looking for genetic clues that might explain why a very small number of people develop rare side effects like Guillain-Barré syndrome, blood clots with low platelets, or heart inflammation after a COVID-19 vaccine. Researchers will compare the DNA of people who had …

This study is gathering information from 15 people with CACP syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes joint problems and sometimes heart issues. Researchers want to better understand how the disease develops and changes over time. The goal is to improve diagnosis and care f…

This study looks at people who developed heart inflammation (myocarditis or pericarditis) after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Researchers will review medical records and follow up with 400 participants for up to 4 years to understand long-term health effects. The goal is to learn m…

This study looks at heart tissue samples from 216 adults who already need a biopsy as part of their care. Researchers want to find unique molecular patterns in different heart conditions, including after a heart transplant. The goal is to improve how these diseases are diagnosed …
