Testing colchicine plus coated aspirin to prevent heart events
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether colchicine and a special type of aspirin can lower the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, or other major heart problems in people with type 2 diabetes who have not had a prior heart event. It aims to reduce cardiovascular risk using medicines that may calm inflammation and protect blood vessels.

This trial tests whether a daily low-dose of colchicine, a common anti-inflammatory medicine, can help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with type 2 diabetes who do not yet have heart disease. If it works, it could be a simple addition to your current diabetes care.
This Phase 4 trial studies an approach to help prevent heart problems in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at higher heart risk. It may help reduce future cardiovascular events by testing medications for safety and benefit in this group.
This trial tests whether taking cilostazol and aspirin together can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes who have early signs of artery disease or metabolic syndrome. It aims to see if this combination is more effective than aspirin alone.
This trial tests if colchicine, a common anti-inflammatory medicine, can help prevent future heart problems in people who have coronary artery disease and recently had a stent placed. It's for adults with at least one extra risk factor like diabetes, smoking, or high blood pressure.
This trial tests a combination pill (polypill) and a medicine called colchicine to see if they can lower the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, or other artery problems. It is for people who already have a history of heart or blood vessel disease.
This study tests whether taking a daily low dose of colchicine, a medicine used for inflammation, can help prevent a first heart attack or other heart problems in people who are at higher risk due to their risk factors. If you qualify, you would be assigned to take either colchicine or a placebo (a pill with no active medicine) to see if it helps keep your heart healthy.
