Brief Summary:

Main Study (CACZ885M2301): The purpose of the pivotal phase of this trial was to test the hypothesis that canakinumab treatment of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) at least one month prior to study entry and elevated hsCRP could prevent recurrent cardiovascular events.

The purpose of the extension phase of the main study is to collect additional long-term safety data on continued exposure to canakinumab in patients who participated in the pivotal phase.

Sub-study 1 (CACZ885M2301S1): The purpose of this sub-study was to evaluate the effect of quarterly subcutaneous canakinumab treatment for 24 months comparted with placebo on the carotid plaque burden measured by integrated vascular MRI in patients enrolled in the CACZ885M2301 study (CANTOS).

Sub-study 2 (CACZ885M2301S2): The purpose of this CANTOS sub-study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes participating in the CANTOS main study, canakinumab compared to placebo, on top of standard of care could increase insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Atherosclerosis Drug: Canakinumab Drug: Placebo Drug: Standard of care Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Sub-study 1 and 2 were terminated prior to data collection from subjects. However, there is an ongoing extension trial where patients are receiving open-drug label.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Analysis of Core Phase First CEC Confirmed Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) and Its Components [ Time Frame: From randomization, to end of treatment plus 30 days, up to approximately 6 years ]
    Time to occurrence of CEC (Cardiovascular clinical events adjudication committee) confirmed MACE, which was a composite endpoint consisting of CEC confirmed CV death, CEC confirmed non-fatal MI,or CEC confirmed non-fatal stroke. Patients with the CEC adjudicated reason for death of "Unknown" were counted as CV (cardiovascular) death.

  2. Substudy 1 (Core Phase): Change From Baseline in Carotid Plaque Burden in the Bifurcation Region of the Index Carotid Artery [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  3. Substudy 2 (Core Phase): Change From Baseline of the Insulin Secretion Rate (ISR) Relative to Glucose 0-30 Min Defined as Φ30 = AUCISR 0-30 / AUCGluc 0-30 Averaged Across the Year 3, 4, 5 Visits [ Time Frame: From randomization up to approximately 6 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Patients With Core Phase CEC Confirmed CV Death, Non-fatal MI, Non-fatal Stroke, or Hospitalization for Unstable Angina Requiring Unplanned Revascularization [ Time Frame: From randomization, to end of treatment pus 30 days, up to approximately 6 years ]

    Occurrence of the composite cardiovascular endpoint consisting of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke or hospitalization for unstable angina requiring unplanned revascularization.

    MACE includes CV death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke. CEC = Clinical Endpoints Committee


  2. Patients With Core Phase New Onset Type 2 Diabetes Among Patients With Pre-diabetes at Randomization [ Time Frame: From randomization up to approximately 6 years ]
    Time to CEC confirmed new onset of type 2 diabetes among those with pre-diabetes at randomization (i.e. excluding those that are normoglycemic at baseline)

  3. Core Phase All-cause Mortality, Non-fatal MI, or Non-fatal Stroke [ Time Frame: From randomization, to end of treatment plus 30 days, up to approximately 6 years ]
