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.
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.
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.
