Clinical Trial Summary

Recent findings suggest that recurrent pericarditis (RP) may be a previously unrecognized autoinflammatory disease. The pivotal pathogenic role of interleukin (IL)-1 in RP has been shown by the achievement of complete responses after treatment with the recombinant IL-1-receptor antagonist, anakinra. Anakinra is the recombinant form of IL-1Ra. The proposed study is designed to demonstarate the efficacy of anakinra in RP.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a 8-month, multicenter (3 Italian centers), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, medication-withdrawal study to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of anakinra in adults and children with idiopathic recurrent pericarditis (RP). ;


Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
