Switching to KPL-387 alone for well-controlled pericarditis
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new drug, KPL-387, can keep your pericarditis under control as your only treatment, after you have been stable on other medicines. It is for people whose pericarditis is well controlled now but who have had flares in the past.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your pericarditis must be well controlled right now (pain score 3 or less out of 10 and low inflammation blood test).
- You must have had at least one past pericarditis flare with high inflammation (CRP > 1 mg/dL).
- You have been on a stable dose of standard pericarditis medicines (like NSAIDs, colchicine, steroids, or certain biologics) for at least 3 months.
- You cannot have had a pericarditis flare in the last 3 months.
- You cannot have active or untreated tuberculosis, a weak immune system, HIV, recent serious infections, certain cancers, or an organ transplant.

This study tests a new medicine, KPL-387, for people whose pericarditis keeps coming back despite standard treatments. It aims to see if this medicine can reduce flare-ups and help you feel better.
This trial tests an experimental drug called VTX2735 for people with recurring pericarditis (inflammation around the heart). It aims to see if the drug can help reduce pain and inflammation during a flare-up.
This trial tests if CardiolRx can help people with recurrent pericarditis (inflammation of the heart lining) who are stable on an IL-1 blocker and are planning to stop it. Researchers will see if CardiolRx can prevent a recurrence when the current treatment is tapered off.
This study looks at immune blood markers to understand different types of recurring inflammation around the heart (pericarditis). The goal is to see whether certain marker patterns (like IL-1RA antibodies and suPAR) are linked to inflammation and what might be driving it.
This trial uses special imaging tests (PET and MRI) to study inflammation of the heart lining in people who have had pericarditis more than once. It aims to better understand the condition and how it can be diagnosed.
This Phase 2 study tests whether LNP023 can improve outcomes and safety in people with active lupus nephritis (lupus-related kidney inflammation), class III or IV. It may help by targeting the ongoing immune activity that is damaging the kidneys.
