Study Summary

Anakinra ADHF is a double-blind randomized clinical trial of anakinra, recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor blocker, or placebo in patients with acute decompensated heart failure with the aim to quench the acute inflammatory response, as measured by the area-under-the-curve for C reactive protein over 14 days.

Primary Outcome

The proportional area-under-the-curve for plasma C reactive protein (CRP) levels measured during the first 3 days of admission. The proportion (y-axis) is calculated at each time-point with respect to the baseline CRP. The resultant y-axis is a unitless proportion. The x-axis is listed as "days"

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo
  • DRUG Anakinra (high dose)
  • DRUG Anakinra (standard dose)
