New drug aims to cool inflammation in heart arteries after attack
NCT ID NCT06927739
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called orticumab in 240 people who had a heart attack and still have high inflammation in their heart arteries. Participants receive either orticumab or a placebo for 24 weeks. The main goal is to see if orticumab lowers inflammation measured by a special CT scan. The trial is currently recruiting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- orticumab
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new treatment that reduces dangerous inflammation in heart arteries after a heart attack, potentially lowering the risk of future heart problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 trial with only 240 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not reduce inflammation better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
