The results of the CANTOS trial provide exciting evidence in support of the inflammatory hypothesis of atherosclerosis in humans, and is the first phase III clinical trial to show clinical benefit of a targeted anti-inflammatory therapy. However, the modest overall clinical benefit and safety concerns with increased susceptibility to fatal infections indicate that we need much more work in this critical area.
