Common drug could protect inflamed hearts from lasting damage

NCT ID NCT05855746

Summary

This trial is testing if adding the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine to standard care can reduce heart scarring and prevent serious complications in people with acute myocarditis, a sudden inflammation of the heart muscle often caused by viruses. It will involve 300 hospitalized patients who will receive either colchicine or a placebo pill for three months. The main goal is to see if the drug leads to less permanent heart damage on scans and lowers the risk of heart failure, dangerous heart rhythms, or death over six months.
