August 5, 2025 updated by: Qian Haiyan, Fu Wai Hospital, Beijing, China

Safety and Efficacy of Low Dose Colchicine or Prednisone Combining With Standard Drug in Patients With Recurrent In-stent Restenosis: a Prospective, Randomized, Open-label Trial

This study is aimed at making a comparison of the safety and efficacy of standard drug therapy (control group), standard drugs combined with lose-dose colchicine therapy (colchicine group) and standard drug combined with prednisone therapy (prednisone group) in patients with coronary heart disease who suffered from recurrent In-stent restenosis (RISR).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint evaluation, single-center Study. A total of 252 RISR patients are planned to be enrolled in Fuwai Hospital, China. Then those included subjects will be randomized to standard drug therapy (control group), standard drugs combined with lose-dose colchicine therapy (colchicine group) and standard drug combined with prednisone therapy (prednisone group). The primary endpoint of the current study is target lesion ISR confirmed by coronary angiography for 12 months, and the secondary endpoint is Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: a composite of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and target vascular revascularization) and each MACE component, target lesion revascularization, or other coronary artery disease revascularization for 12 months. The safety endpoint is adverse reactions to colchicine, adverse reactions of prednisone, or discontinued medication due to adverse reactions. In summary, the present study is to provide new evidence and strategy about anti-inflammatory therapy for recurrent In-stent restenosis after coronary intervention.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult
