Low-dose colchicine for acute coronary syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a low dose of the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can help people who have recently had a heart attack or unstable angina. It aims to see if colchicine reduces the risk of future heart problems.

This trial tests whether a low dose of colchicine, an anti-inflammatory medication, can help prevent bypass grafts from closing after heart surgery. You would take this medication for a set period after your coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
This trial tests whether colchicine (a medicine commonly used for inflammation) can improve how well clogged heart arteries reopen after a short-term heart emergency called ACS. You may be eligible if you’re hospitalized with ACS and are planned for a coronary angiogram and possible angioplasty soon.
This trial is for people who had a heart attack and received a specific type of stent (Orsiro). It tests a combination of a single antiplatelet drug and colchicine to see if it helps prevent future heart problems. Colchicine is a medicine that reduces inflammation and might lower the risk of another heart attack.
This trial tests if giving colchicine early after a heart attack (when a drug-coated stent is placed) can help reduce complications. It looks at short-term benefits for people with Non-STEMI.
This trial tests whether colchicine (a medicine used for gout) can help prevent heart problems after a stent procedure (PCI). It's for people who are in the hospital getting a stent and follow standard heart care.
This study tests whether a low-dose medicine called colchicine can reduce inflammation and slow down artery blockages in people who have a specific gene change (TET2) and have recently had a heart attack. The goal is to see if it helps prevent future heart problems.
