INR-CAD: inflammation-related coronary artery disease study
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study follows people who have both coronary artery disease (narrowed heart arteries) and signs of chronic inflammation to learn more about their condition, current treatments, and outcomes. It helps doctors understand how best to care for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have blockages in your heart arteries (at least 50% narrowing) and signs of long-term inflammation (like high blood markers for inflammation or an autoimmune disease).
- You are not newly pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant during the study.
- You have not been hospitalized in the last 6 months for chest pain due to a new or worsening blockage (or 12 months if you take immune-suppressing medicines).
- You do not have other serious heart conditions, active cancer, or a life expectancy shorter than 1 year.

This study compares two types of coronary artery disease: one linked to inflammation (IR-CAD) and the standard type (AS-CAD). If you have had a heart procedure and were recently hospitalized for worsening chest pain, this study may help doctors understand your condition better.
This study looks at whether a comprehensive add-on treatment—starting with immune medicine and then a heart procedure when needed—can improve outcomes for people whose coronary artery disease is getting worse quickly. It focuses on cases where inflammation is likely driving new artery blockages or worsening chest pain.
This study follows adults who have fast, unexplained re-narrowing of a coronary stent, to better understand what causes it and how to monitor it. You may help by allowing the study team to collect medical information over time.
This study looks at people whose coronary artery disease worsens quickly despite standard treatment. It compares them to those with stable disease to understand differences and improve care.
This trial tests whether adding a targeted anti-inflammatory drug to standard care can prevent future heart attacks or strokes in people with high-risk chronic coronary artery disease. It is for people who have a moderate narrowing in a heart artery with a vulnerable plaque and signs of inflammation.
This trial uses a special computer program to look at your heart CT scan and measure inflammation and risk of heart problems. It may help doctors better understand your risk and guide your treatment.
