A Study to Investigate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of DFV890 and MAS825 for Inflammatory Marker Reduction in Adult Participants With Coronary Heart Disease and Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP)

Plain-language 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, or a single s.c. dose of MAS825, to reduce key markers of inflammation related to CVD risk, such as IL-6 and IL-18, in approximately 28 people with known coronary heart disease and TET2 or DNMT3A CHIP (variant allele frequency \[VAF\] ≥2%).

Inclusion Criteria:
* Male and female participants aged between 18 - 80 years (inclusive) at the start of screening will be included.
* Participants must have a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 - 40 kg/m2 at screening. BMI = Body weight (kg) / \[Height (m)\]2.
* Documented spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI) (diagnosed according to the universal MI criteria with or without evidence of ST segment elevation) at least 30 days before the start of screening (Thygesen et al 2007).
* Known presence of CHIP, restricted to driver mutations in TET2 or DNMT3A with a VAF ≥2%, as documented in the participant's medical history.
* For participants on statin therapy (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) as clinically indicated, participants must be on a stable regimen (at least 4 weeks before randomization), with no planned statin dose changes over the course of the trial treatment period. Unplanned statin dose changes during the trial treatment period may occur.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients receiving concomitant medications that are known to be strong or moderate inducers of cytochrome CYP2C9 enzyme and/or strong inducers of CYP3A, strong inhibitors of CYP2C9 and/or strong or moderate inhibitors of CYP3A and the treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication within 5 half-lives or 1 week (whichever is longer) prior to Day 1 and for the duration of the study.
* At screening, pre-malignant clonal cytopenias or clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS…
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.
What they're measuring
1
Ratio to Baseline Serum Levels of IL-6 for DFV890 Based on an Emax Model
Timeframe: Baseline (before first dose of study drug), 3 weeks after the start of a dosing period for DFV890 (between Day 22 and Day 85, depending on treatment sequence assignment)
2
Ratio to Baseline Serum Levels of IL-18 for DFV890 Based on an Emax Model
Timeframe: Baseline (before first dose of study drug), 3 weeks after the start of a dosing period for DFV890 (between Day 22 and Day 85, depending on treatment sequence assignment)
3
Ratio to Baseline Serum Levels of IL-6 for MAS825 Based on a Traditional Linear Regression Model
Timeframe: Baseline (before first dose of study drug), 3 weeks after a single MAS825 dose on Day 1.
