About this study
Official title: Outcomes of Low-dose Colchicine in Patients With Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Over the past years, a substantial volume of evidence has accumulated identifying inflammatory processes as key mediators of the deleterious effects of ischemia/reperfusion-related phenomena in patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Nevertheless, equally impressive is the lack of clinically applicable therapeutic strategies that could mitigate these processes, thus providing significant cardioprotection. Despite the well-known fact that inflammation plays an important role in coronary artery disease development and progression, there have been few attempts to systematically examine the potential role of anti-inflammatory treatment in this setting, possibly because of a lack in anti-inflammatory agents without the adverse cardiovascular safety profile of corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Colchicine is a substance with potent anti-inflammatory properties, having a unique mechanism of action, which allows for safe use in patients with cardiovascular disease.
The purpose of the present clinical study is to test the hypothesis that a short course of treatment with colchicine could lead to reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in acute MI.

Over the past years, a substantial volume of evidence has accumulated identifying inflammatory processes as key mediators of the deleterious effects of ischemia/reperfusion-related phenomena in patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Nevertheless, equally impressive is the lack of clinically applicable therapeutic strategies that could mitigate these processes, thus providing significant cardioprotection.
Despite the well-known fact that inflammation plays an important role in coronary artery disease development and progression, there have been few attempts to systematically examine the potential role of anti-inflammatory treatment in this setting, possibly because of a lack in anti-inflammatory agents without the adverse cardiovascular safety profile of corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Some anti-inflammatory agents, like pexelizumab, are focused on complement cascade.Another agent is Varespladib, which targets sPLA2 that causes oxidative stress and inflammation. There are other therapeutic targets that have been widely investigated. Colchicine is a substance with potent anti-inflammatory properties, having a unique mechanism of action, which allows for safe use in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Colchicine binds to non-polymerized tubulin, forming a stable complex that effectively inhibits the dynamic of microtubules, depolymerizing them. Thus, any process requiring changes in the cell cytoskeleton, such as cellular mitosis, exocytosis and neutrophil motility, is affected. Colchicine has an important effect on atrial myocytes, changing the atrial response to autonomic effects (reducing the sympathetic activity and increasing the parasympathetic one). Due to this particular mode of action, colchicine has been indicated in atrial fibrillation post-cardiac surgery. A similar trial is being conducted to investigate any effusions or syndromes that occur after myocardial infarction.
The purpose of the present clinical study is to test the hypothesis that a short course of treatment with colchicine could lead to reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in acute MI.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Major cardiovascular adverse events (number of events)
This outcome will be assessed using a questionnaire. The following headings will be used:
- Cardiovascular death (number of events)
- Non-fatal myocardial infarction (number of events)
- Resuscitated cardiac arrest (number of events)
- Hospitalization for unstable angina (number of events) For each heading, the total number of events will be recorded and the numbers will all be added to calculate 'Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events' in form of number of events. This outcome has no specific values of measure but a discrete numerical value
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (3)
Troponin I (ng/ml)
This workup will be recorded on the same questionnaire as a numerical value with its specific unit of measure upon followup of patient.
Measured: 3 months
Creatine Kinase-Myocardial Band (IU/L)
This workup will be recorded on the same questionnaire as a numerical value with its specific unit of measure upon followup of patient.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Over the past years, a substantial volume of evidence has accumulated identifying inflammatory processes as key mediators of the deleterious effects of ischemia/reperfusion-related phenomena in patients presenting with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Nevertheless, equally impressive is the lack of clinically applicable therapeutic strategies that could mitigate these processes, thus providing significant cardioprotection. Despite the well-known fact that inflammation plays an important role in coronary artery disease development and progression, there have been few attempts to systematically examine the potential role of anti-inflammatory treatment in this setting, possibly because of a lack in anti-inflammatory agents without the adverse cardiovascular safety profile of corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Colchicine is a substance with potent anti-inflammatory properties, having a unique mechanism of action, which allows for safe use in patients with cardiovascular disease.
The purpose of the present clinical study is to test the hypothesis that a short course of treatment with colchicine could lead to reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in acute MI.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Colchicine in people with Myocardium; Injury and Myocardial Infarction, run by Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Major cardiovascular adverse events (number of events) (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04218786, which also lists 35 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Apr 2023.
