Inclusion Criteria for All Participants: * Has given consent (or assent, if applicable) and signed an Informed Consent Form (ICF) (or informed assent form, if applicable). * Male or female, of any ethnic origin. * 6 to 75 years of age, inclusive. * If used, has received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and/or colchicine and/or corticosteroids (in any combination) at stable dose levels for at least 7 days prior to study drug dosing (although stable doses for a shorter period will be acceptable if in the opinion of the Investigator, in consultation with the Sponsor, a shorter period of stability is not anticipated to alter the baseline CRP values) and is anticipated to continue these concomitant medications at these dose levels for the duration of the active Treatment Period. * If female of child-bearing potential, must be nonpregnant and nonlactating and must agree to use an effective method of contraception, e.g., hormonal contraception or double-barrier birth control. * Is able to adequately maintain a medication diary. * Agrees to refrain from making any new, major life-style changes that may affect pericarditis symptoms (e.g., starting a new diet or changing exercise pattern) from the time of signature of the ICF (or informed assent form, if applicable) to the End-of-Trial Visit. Parts 1, 2 and 4: Subjects eligible for Parts 1, 2 and 4 have to present during a symptomatic episode of recurrent idiopathic pericarditis (RIP; Parts 1 and 2) and post pericardi…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
