Colchicine for acute heart failure with low pumping strength
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can help people hospitalized with acute heart failure and a weak heart pump. It may benefit those with elevated inflammation markers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are hospitalized for sudden worsening of heart failure symptoms.
- Your heart's pumping strength is below 40% (measured recently or during this hospital stay).
- You have had heart failure symptoms for at least 3 months.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a high level of inflammation in your blood (C-reactive protein above normal).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if colchicine, an anti-inflammatory medicine, can help people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff and inflamed. You may join if your heart failure recently worsened and you have signs of inflammation in your blood.
This trial tests whether a low-dose colchicine (LoDoCo) can help people with heart failure and inflammation feel better and exercise more. It is for adults 50 and older with HFpEF who have signs of inflammation in their blood.
This study tests whether colchicine and thiamine (vitamin B1) can improve outcomes in people with heart failure caused by blocked or narrowed heart arteries. It’s mainly for people with moderate-to-severe symptoms and reduced heart pumping ability.
This trial tests whether the drug colchicine can help people with heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis) that also causes abnormal heart rhythms, a weak heart pump, or high stress markers. Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory medicine that might reduce heart damage and improve symptoms.
This trial is testing whether colchicine, a medication used for gout, can help people with a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. If you have heart failure with preserved pumping and certain signs of inflammation, this study might be a good fit.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether colchicine can reduce inflammation and improve heart function in people with kidney disease and a certain type of heart problem. If you qualify, you’ll be closely monitored for side effects and lab changes.
