First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a drug called selnoflast in 162 people with atherosclerosis (hardened arteries) who are at high risk for heart attacks or strokes. The goal is to see if selnoflast can reduce inflammation inside the arteries, measured by a special PET scan, compared to a placebo. All participants continue their standard treatments.

selnoflast

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new way to lower inflammation in arteries and reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in people with atherosclerosis.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 162 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not reduce inflammation enough or could have side effects.
