About this trial

The primary goal of this clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that the drug canakinumab (anti-IL-1B monoclonal antibody) decreases vascular inflammation when used by people with a history of coronary artery disease, including those with and without clonal hematopoiesis driven by mutations in TET2.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

18 years or older

Coronary artery disease, defined as prior heart attack, coronary stent procedure >180 days before baseline imaging, or advanced subclinical coronary atherosclerosis (coronary artery calcium score ≥300 Agatston units, CAD-RADS 3 or greater atherosclerosis on coronary CT angiography, or qualitatively severe coronary artery calcification identified on non-gated CT imaging)

Presence of either TET2 mutations or no myeloid driver mutations on prior sequencing

Disqualifiers

placement of a drug-eluting stent in a proximal coronary arterial segment <180 days before baseline imaging

prior coronary artery bypass grafting

pregnancy or breastfeeding

history of blood malignancy or current solid-tumor malignancy
