Clinical Trial Summary

Treatment of pericarditis largely remains empirical due to the relative lack of randomized controlled trials. Nevertheless, some recommendations have been formulated to guide management and follow-up of acute pericarditis. Aspirin or an NSAID at medium to high dosages is the mainstay of treatment. Optimal length of treatment is not established.

PERICARDITE is a French multicentric placebo controlled double blind randomized trial assessing efficacy of a brief treatment based on Aspirin (4 days) versus a longer treatment (21days) in treating a first episode of probably idiopathic acute pericarditis. It is a non inferiority trial.

Exclusion criteria are: diseases known to cause pericarditis: (recent myocardial infarction, autoimmune disease, postpericardiotomy syndromes, connective tissue disease, tuberculosis, neoplastic disease).

Primary endpoint is: 30 days recovery defined as the normalization of all clinical and paraclinical initial abnormalities.

Secondary endpoint is: 6-month recurrence.
