NCT ID NCT07462325

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a low dose of colchicine, an anti-inflammatory drug, changes proteins in the blood of people with coronary heart disease and high inflammation. Researchers will compare protein levels before and after one month of treatment in 176 patients. The goal is to find new biomarkers and targets for future therapies.
