MAVERIC
A Phase 3 Clinical Trial in Recurrent Pericarditis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06708299 · Sponsor: Cardiol Therapeutics Inc.
About the study

MAVERIC is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial assessing the impact of CardiolRx™ oral solution on the risk of pericarditis recurrence in adults currently being treated with rilonacept (Arcalyst®).

The study is enrolling at 20+ research sites across 13 U.S. states.

About recurrent pericarditis

Recurrent pericarditis is repeated inflammation of the pericardium, the protective sac surrounding the heart. Characterized by sharp chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, it can result in repeated hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and significantly reduced quality of life.

MAVERIC is evaluating whether CardiolRx™ can reduce the risk of pericarditis recurrence when rilonacept is discontinued.

The investigational product

CardiolRx™ is a pharmaceutically manufactured oral solution. Research suggests the active ingredient attenuates multiple inflammatory signaling pathways, including inhibiting activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key driver of pericarditis recurrence.
