Can colchicine reduce knee or hip replacement?
This study tests whether a low-dose medicine called colchicine can lower the chance that people with knee or hip arthritis will need a joint replacement. If you have arthritis in your knee or hip and are not already scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
NijmegenAges 45–80 - NCT07309003Recruiting
