Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate whether the anti-inflammatory effect of colchicine is beneficial in ACS patients

Detailed Description

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

This study will evaluate the effect of colchicine on inflammation, cardiac remodeling, and atherosclerotic risk in STEMI patients through the assessment of the IL-1β, sST2, and lipid profile parameters as well as to examine the drug safety and tolerability in these patients.
