- Original description
Prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 3-week ibuprofen tapering regimen compared to conventional analgesic treatment (acetaminophen) in patients with acute myocarditis and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%. The objective is to assess the reduction in late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 6-month follow-up.Read full original descriptionShow less
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Versus Conventional Treatment in Acute Myocarditis (INFLAMA Trial)
Prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 3-week ibuprofen tapering regimen compared to conventional analgesic treatment (acetaminophen) in patients with acute myocarditis and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%. The objective is to assess the reduction in late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 6-month follow-up.
Inclusion: Aged 18 years or older; Patients hospitalized for confirmed acute myocarditis and left ventricular ejection fraction ventricular >50%; Elevated troponin I/T (3 times above the upper limit of normal); Absence of acute heart failure; Absence of ischemic heart disease (ruled out by coronary angiography or coronary CT in individuals over 40 years); Diagnostic criteria for myocarditis (Lake Louise, 2018 update) by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Exclusion: Hypersensitivity to NSAIDs or previous use in the last 7 days; Severe liver failure (Child-Pugh class C); Poorly controlled pharmacological hypertension (repeatedly systolic arterial pressure >140 mmHg); Kidney disease stage 3b, 4 and 5 (creatinine clearance by CKD-EPI <45 ml/min/1.73 m2); Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or women of childbearing age unwilling to use appropriate contraception throughout the study; Diagnosis criteria for acute pericarditis; Moderate or severe pericardial effusion (>10 mm in total); Contraindication for MRI; Participation in another clinical trial; Any circumstance that, in the investigator's opinion, compromises participation in the clinical trial.
