NCT ID NCT06587737

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a low-dose anti-inflammatory drug called colchicine can help people who have had a brain hemorrhage (a type of stroke) recover better and avoid future heart attacks or strokes. About 1,125 adults with signs of artery disease will take either colchicine or a placebo daily for several years. The goal is to see if the drug reduces disability and major heart-related events without causing dangerous side effects like more bleeding.
