IC14 (Atibuclimab) in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

The goal of this clinical trial is to test IC14 (atibuclimab) in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and who have an implantable cardoverter/defibrillator in place. ACM is also called arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARV) or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The main questions the study aims to answer are the effect of treatment on blood markers of inflammation, safety, and pharmacokinetics. There will also be measurements of myocardial imaging of C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2+) immune cells (optional), monitoring of cardiac arrhythmias using the patient's pre-existing intracardiac cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) and a Holter monitor, electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram (ECHO), and blood tests. Results will be compared to baseline; there is no inactive placebo treatment group. Participants will be asked to undergo screening and baseline testing, then receive 4 intravenous infusions with blood measurements before and after the infusion (including 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7, 14, and 28 days). Participants will be offered specialized scanning of the heart muscle, and will be asked to provide recordings from their ICD, undergo Holter monitoring twice, and have electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms (ECHO) and blood tests.
