About this study

This clinical trial is comprised of 3 separate study parts: Phase 2, Phase 3, and Long-Term Extension. The primary objective of Phase 2 is to evaluate how well different dose regimens of KPL-387 control the pain and inflammation of pericarditis in a group of participants experiencing an acute episode of recurrent pericarditis. This part of the study will confirm the KPL-387 dose regimen to be further tested in Phase 3 and the Long-Term Extension. The primary objective of Phase 3 is to confirm the efficacy of KPL-387 for the treatment of recurrent pericarditis and reduction in risk of recurrence in an additional group of participants experiencing an acute episode of recurrent pericarditis. Participants who complete Phase 2 or Phase 3 may be eligible to participate in the Long-Term Extension. The primary objective of the Long-Term Extension is to assess the long-term efficacy of KPL-387 while maintaining long-term disease control. All of the study parts also have other objectives to learn about the safety, tolerability, concentration of KPL-387 in blood, and effects of KPL-387 on blood test markers of immune activity in recurrent pericarditis.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Phase 2 and 3: Has a diagnosis of recurrent pericarditis
  • Phase 2 and 3: Has signs and symptoms of recurrent pericarditis despite treatment with standard therapies

  • Phase 2 and 3: Has had a serious infection, has been admitted to the hospital for an infection, or has been treated for a documented infection requiring antibiotics for a documented infection within 2 weeks prior to first study drug administration.
  • Phase 2 and 3: Has had an organ transplant (except corneal transplant performed more than 3 months prior to first study drug administration).
  • Phase 2 and 3: In the Investigator's opinion, has any other medical condition that could adversely affect the subject's participation or interfere with study evaluations.
