Brief Summary

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

Evidence from the COLCOT Trial has shown that anti-inflammatory effect of colchicine reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with recent myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that this might be due to the improvement of the coronary plaque stability by colchicine. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the most precise method to detect plaque stability in clinical practice. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of colchicine on improving the stability of coronary plaque in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. OCT coronary images analyzed at an independent imaging core laboratory (Department of Cardiology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China) by blinded expert readers.

Study Groups

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

Treatment Group

colchicine (0.5mg), one pill a day, oral intake

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Colchicine

Intervention Type DRUG

colchicine is a potent anti-inflammatory drug which is currently recommended for the treatment of pericarditis and acute gout attacks, but also familial Mediterranean fever and Behçet disease. This drug acts on inflammation through inhibition of microtubule polymerization by binding free tubule dimers. Colchicine blunts monocyte and neutrophil invasion at the site of inflammation and reduces intracellular trafficking and thus the release of cytokine and production of reactive oxygen species and a variety of proteolytic enzymes.

Control Group

placebo, one pill a day, oral intake

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

the placebo is a drug with no chemical effects but with the same physical characteristics as the experiment drug colchine.
