Study Summary

This trial aims to test a new drug, IC14, in patients with a heart condition called arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy who have an implantable defibrillator. The study will look at how

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a heart muscle disease that can cause irregular heartbeats. Participants must have an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) already in place.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests IC14 (atibuclimab), focusing on its effects on inflammation markers, safety, and how the body processes it. It includes blood tests, heart scans, and monitoring of heart rhythms using existing ICDs and additional devices.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed but generally could include reactions at the infusion site, changes in blood pressure or heartbeat, allergic reactions to the medication, or other unforeseen complications.

What are the main goals being pursued in this research endeavor?

"Throughout the period spanning from Baseline to 14 weeks, the primary focus of this study is on evaluating Safety by tracking the occurrence of anti-drug antibodies. Secondary aims involve examining Pharmacokinetics through assessing Serum IC14 concentration over time using Area under the curve (AUC), investigating Pharmacodynamics via measuring monocyte membrane CD14 receptor occupancy known as Receptor Occupancy, and analyzing Peak serum IC14 concentration for Pharmacokinetics purposes."
