Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of comparing colchicine to placebo for the prevention of new onset atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing general thoracic surgery and establish the foundation for a large, multi-centre, clinical trial.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active Colchicine

On the day of surgery, the intervention group will receive 2 doses of colchicine 0.6 mg orally. The first dose will be administered within 4 hours before surgery. The second dose will be given between 6:00PM and 11:59PM after surgery. All patients will receive colchicine 0.6 mg or placebo twice daily orally for 10 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Colchicine 0.6 mg

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo Colchicine

On the day of surgery, the intervention group will receive 2 doses of colchicine placebo 0.6 mg orally. The first dose will be administered within 4 hours before surgery. The second dose will be given between 6:00PM and 11:59PM after surgery. All patients will receive colchicine 0.6 mg or placebo twice daily orally for 10 days.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* All patients ≥55 years of age undergoing intra-thoracic surgery for a resection of tumor in lung.

Exclusion Criteria

* In AF prior to surgery\*,
* Undergoing minor thoracic interventions/ procedures (i.e., chest tube insertion, needle pleural/lung biopsies, or minor chest-wall surgeries), or
* With contraindications to colchicine (i.e., allergy, or myelodysplastic disorders or estimated glomerular filtration rate \[e-GFR\] \<30 mL/min/1.73m)

* Clarification: Patients with history of AF who are in sinus rhythm during enrollment will be eligible for recruitment. Patients who have no history of AF and are found to be in AF at the time of enrollment will not be eligible.
