First seen Apr 14, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests whether a low-dose anti-inflammatory drug called colchicine can safely reduce inflammation in people who cannot take statins due to side effects. Statins lower cholesterol and inflammation, but some people have to stop them. The study will enroll 30 adults aged 18-80 with statin intolerance and measure changes in inflammation markers over four weeks. The goal is to see if colchicine can help lower heart disease risk in this group.
