Study Summary

This Phase 2a clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of increasing dose strengths of an oral daily medication, DFV890, administered for 12 weeks, to reduce key markers of inflammation related to CVD risk, such as IL-6 and IL-18, in approximately 24 people with known heart disease and an elevated marker of inflammation, hsCRP.

Primary Outcome

Serum levels of IL-6 at 3 weeks after the start of a dosing period for DFV890. The circulating serum levels of the cytokine IL-6 were measured by a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay at a qualified vendor.The Emax model selected for IL-6 analysis was a model with 2 covariates (IL-6 baseline and bodyweight) and 1 random effect.
