Anti-inflammatory drugs for acute myocarditis
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, help people with acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) who are hospitalized but have normal heart function. It aims to see if these drugs can reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are hospitalized with confirmed acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and your heart pumps blood normally.
- Your troponin levels (a marker of heart damage) are at least 3 times higher than normal.
- You do not have signs of heart failure or clogged arteries (confirmed by a scan if over 40).
- You have had a heart MRI that confirms myocarditis.
- You do not have severe kidney or liver disease, poorly controlled high blood pressure, or a separate heart lining inflammation (pericarditis).
- You have not taken NSAIDs in the past 7 days and are not allergic to them.

This study tests whether steroid medicine helps people hospitalized with suspected acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart). Participants are randomly assigned to receive steroids or a placebo, and the trial looks at outcomes after the acute episode starts.
This study is creating a national registry to learn more about inflammatory myocardial disease (inflammation of the heart muscle). If you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or certain test results, you may be eligible to join and help advance research.
This trial tests if high-dose steroids and/or immunoglobulins (antibody treatments) help people with sudden, severe heart inflammation (fulminant myocarditis) that causes shock or dangerous heart rhythms. The goal is to see which treatment or combination reduces heart damage and improves recovery.
This trial uses an imaging technique called NH IMR Angio to look at the tiny blood vessels in the heart of patients hospitalized with acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). The goal is to see if problems with these small vessels affect recovery over the next year.
This study looks at people hospitalized for a heart muscle inflammation called myocarditis. It aims to better understand the risk of heart rhythm problems, which could help guide future care.
This study uses a special imaging technique to look at inflammation in the heart for people with myocarditis. It may help doctors better see and understand the condition.
