Conditions

and currently available clinical data support that ziltivekimab once-monthly reduces inflammation as measured by highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). With the recent proof-of-concept that hs-CRP reduction through inhibition of an upstream pathway leads to reduction in cardiovascular events, it is reasonable to expect that similar inhibition of IL-6 with ziltivekimab also reduces CV risk.The aim of the current study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of ziltivekimab in reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events when initiated as early as possible in adult patients with ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, The medical condition we are investigating is type 1 AMI (STEMI and NSTEMI). Ziltivekimab is a human monoclonal antibody directed against the interleukin-6 (IL-6) ligand
