The primary objective of this study is to characterize the efficacy and safety of dosing regimens used to transition from prior pericarditis therapies to KPL-387 monotherapy in participants with well-controlled recurrent pericarditis on standard therapies.
During the Posology (Dosing and Administration) Study, participants on oral pericarditis therapies alone (i.e., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\], colchicine, and/or glucocorticoids) and participants on Interleukin-1 (IL-1) pathway inhibition drugs will transition to KPL-387 per protocol guidelines. Participants will receive KPL-387 for up to 16 weeks in the Posology Study. At study visits throughout the Posology Study, participants will be queried for symptoms of chest pain (and participants will fill out pericarditis pain numerical rating scale \[NRS\] scores) and will be assessed for physical signs (e.g., pericardial friction rub) and laboratory evidence of pericarditis activity (e.g., C-reactive protein \[CRP\]) as well as treatment tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK). Participants experiencing new or worsening symptoms consistent with pericarditis will be managed per study protocol. All active, enrolled participants in the Posology Study who have not completed an End of Treatment (EOT) Visit may be eligible to transition into the Long-Term Extension (LTE) following completion of the Week 16 Visit. The Week 16 Visit will serve as both a Posology Study End of Study Visit and a Baseline Visit for the LTE. Participants who choose not to participate in the LTE will complete an EOT Visit followed by a Safety Follow-Up until 8 weeks after the last KPL-387 dose administration. The open-label LTE is designed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of KPL-387 in recurrent pericarditis (RP). Treatment in the LTE may continue until the participant has received up to 24 months of treatment in the LTE or until KPL-387 is approved for commercial use in that region to treat pericarditis, whichever occurs first. At study visits throughout the LTE, participants will be queried for symptoms of chest pain (and participants will fill out pericarditis pain NRS scores) and will be assessed for physical signs (e.g., pericardial friction rub) and laboratory evidence of pericarditis activity (e.g., CRP) as well as treatment tolerability and PK. Participants experiencing new or worsening symptoms consistent with pericarditis will be managed as described in the protocol.

RECRUITINGPosology: Proportion of participants free from Pericarditis Recurrence by Week 16
Time frame: From first administration of study drug up to Week 16
Long-Term Extension: Annualized rate of Pericarditis Recurrence through the end of the LTE.
Time frame: Up to 24 Months
Posology: Time to Pericarditis Recurrence by Week 16
Time frame: From first administration of study drug up to Week 16
Long Term Extension: Change from LTE Baseline in SF-36v2 Physical Component Summary score through the end of the LTE
SF-36 (36-item Short Form Survey) Physical Component determines participants' quality of life by assessing 1) limitations in physical functioning due to health problems; 2) limitations in usual role because of physical health problems; 3) bodily pain; 4) general health perceptions; Scores on each item are summed and averaged (range: 0=worst to 100=best) with higher scores indicating better health. Increases from baseline indicate improvement.
Time frame: Up to 24 Months
Long Term Extension: Change from LTE Baseline in SF-36v2 Mental Component Summary score through the end of the LTE
SF-36 (36-item Short Form Survey) Mental Component determines participants' quality of life by assessing 1) vitality; 2) limitations in social functioning because of physical or emotional problems; 3) limitations in usual role due to emotional problems; and 4) general mental health. Scores on each item are summed and averaged (range: 0=worst to 100=best) with higher scores indicating better health. Increases from baseline indicate improvement.
Time frame: Up to 24 Months
Long Term Extension: Change from LTE Baseline in EQ-5D-5L individual index scores over time through the end of the LTE
The EQ-5D-5L (EuroQol-5 Dimension 5-level) is a self-reported health status questionnaire that consists of 6 questions used to calculate a health utility score for use in health economic analysis. There are 2 components to the EQ-5D-5L: a 5-item health state profile that assesses mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression used to obtain an Index Utility Score, as well as a visual analogue scale (VAS) that measures health state. Individual and index scores range from 0 to 1, with low scores representing a higher level of dysfunction.

The VAS is designed to rate the participant's current health state on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the worst imaginable health state and 100 represents the best imaginable health state.
