A list of potential medications targeting key FRM-promoting molecules, currently tested in clinical trials. Available drugs are evaluated in ongoing clinical trials to determine their effects to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome, IL1B, or IL18 in various conditions associated with an unresolved inflammatory status.
