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)

This Phase 2a clinical trial will evaluate 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 (VAF ≥2%).

This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, participant- and investigator-blinded study. The study consists of a screening period up to 30 days; a treatment period of approximately 12 weeks with an end of treatment (EOT) visit on Day 85, which is one day after the last dose of DFV890 or placebo; a follow-up period of approximately 1 week; and a standard safety follow-up call approximately 30 days following the last dose. The overall study duration is approximately 21 weeks. Participants will be randomized to one of five treatment sequences. Based on the treatment sequence assignments, participants will start on either a combination of MAS825 and placebo, DFV890 and placebo, or placebo and placebo on Day 1, and then, within each DFV890 treatment sequence, participants will receive up-titrating doses of DFV890 or placebo at the corresponding study visits.
