Substantiation In de RHAPSODY fase 3 studie placebo-gecontroleerd, had 7% in de rilonacept groep een pericarditis recurrence, vergeleken met 74% in de placebo groep. Mediane tijd tot recurrence: hazard ratio, 0.04; 95% CI, 0.01 to 0.18; P<0.001. Een interleukine remmer zal niet de eerste keuze zijn in het geval van een recurrent pericarditis. De verwachting is dat colchicine eerder in de behandelrichtlijn gegeven zal worden.
