About this study
Official title: Registry of the Natural History of Recurrent Pericarditis in Pediatric and Adult Patients
The registry will focus on furthering the understanding of the natural history of recurrent pericarditis (RP), as well as document RP-related clinical, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and economic burden and will assist the medical community to refine or develop data-driven recommendations for clinical management of RP patients to optimize clinical outcomes. It also aims to generate data in support of the impact of rilonacept on clinical outcomes in a real-world population.

- Medical subject headings

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Active RP | Patients who are currently under the care of a physician for treatment of RP, currently on treatment for RP, and have had an episode (recurrence of typical pericarditis pain associated with supportive objective evidence of pericarditis) in the last 3 years prior to enrollment. Once included in the registry, these patients will have both retrospective and prospective follow-up and data collection (hybrid design). | |
| Inactive RP | Patients who have had a diagnosis of RP, have not had an episode for 3 years and have not been prescribed any treatment for RP in the last 3 years, prior to enrolling in the registry. Once included in the registry, data collected from these patients will be retrospective only. |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Recurrent Pericarditis, run by Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals International, plc at 29 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 29 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Patients using 1 or more RP treatments (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2026.
