Summary

This study tests whether adding a low-dose anti-inflammatory drug called colchicine to standard heart treatments can lower the risk of major heart problems like heart attacks and strokes. About 3,800 adults with stable coronary artery disease and non-blocking plaque will be randomly assigned to get colchicine or a placebo. The goal is to see if reducing inflammation can prevent future cardiovascular events.
