NCT ID NCT05855746
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 01, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests whether colchicine, an anti-inflammatory drug, can reduce heart scarring and prevent serious complications in people with acute myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation). About 300 adults with recent-onset myocarditis will receive either colchicine or a placebo for six months. The goal is to see if colchicine limits heart damage and lowers the risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, or death.
