Evaluating Selnoflast Versus Placebo to Reduce Vascular Inflammation in Adults with Atherosclerosis at High Risk for Major Heart Problems

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy of selnoflast compared with a placebo in adults with atherosclerosis who are at high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events MACE and are currently receiving standard-of-care therapy. This Phase IIa study aims to assess how selnoflast affects vascular inflammation in this population. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one group will receive selnoflast orally twice a day for 12 weeks, while the other group will receive a matching placebo on the same schedule. The study uses a quadruple masking design to compare the effects of selnoflast and placebo over the treatment period. During the 12 weeks of treatment, participants will undergo assessments including imaging scans to measure vascular inflammation, blood tests for drug concentration, and monitoring for adverse events. The primary outcome is the change in a vascular inflammation measure called mdsTBR in a target blood vessel from baseline to week 12 in participants with elevated baseline inflammation levels. Safety and pharmacokinetics will be followed up to about 20 weeks. Overall participation lasts up to approximately 6 months.
