Oral NLRP3 Inhibition With Ruvonoflast Produces Rapid, Reversible Suppression of Residual Inflammation in Adults at High Cardiovascular Risk

By MedXY 06/10/2026

In a Phase 1b placebo-controlled trial, ruvonoflast markedly reduced hsCRP, IL-6, and fibrinogen over 28 days in adults with obesity, elevated hsCRP, and cardiometabolic risk, supporting further evaluation of oral NLRP3 inhibition in atherosclerotic prevention.

NLRP3 Inflammasome in Hearing Loss: Mechanisms and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies

By MedXY 11/04/2025

The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a central role in inflammation-mediated sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Genetic and acquired activation causes cochlear damage through cytokine release and pyroptosis. Targeted therapies, including IL-1 blockers and novel NLRP3 inhibitors, offer hope for effective treatment of various SNHL forms.
