Colchicine for non-severe coronary plaque: a trial
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can help people with non-severe coronary artery plaque seen on a CT scan. It may be an option if you have stable chest pain or related symptoms and your heart arteries are partly blocked but not severely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome (stable chest pain or related symptoms).
- A CT scan shows at least 50% narrowing in one heart artery, but a special CT measurement (CT-FFR) shows it's not severely blocking blood flow (value above 0.80).
- You have not had a heart stent in the last 3 months or bypass surgery.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease, stomach ulcers, or other conditions listed that would make colchicine unsafe.

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 adding a targeted anti-inflammatory drug to standard care can prevent future heart attacks or strokes in people with high-risk chronic coronary artery disease. It is for people who have a moderate narrowing in a heart artery with a vulnerable plaque and signs of inflammation.
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 tests whether taking colchicine can prevent coronary artery disease (heart artery blockages) in people who have several heart risk factors but do not already have diagnosed disease. It aims to see if colchicine lowers the chance of developing heart artery problems over time.
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 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.
