Can a pill a day keep heart plaque away?
NCT ID NCT05850091
Summary
This study is testing whether two common medications—a cholesterol-lowering statin and an anti-inflammatory drug called colchicine—can slow down the buildup of early, hidden plaque in the arteries of people at high genetic risk for heart disease. It involves 200 adults aged 40-75 who have early signs of plaque but no history of heart disease. Participants will take either one drug, both drugs, or a placebo for one year to see which approach best stabilizes the plaque.
