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

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
