NCT ID NCT07362966

First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This pilot study is testing whether the drug colchicine can reduce artery plaque in 120 heart attack survivors who have a specific gene change (TET2). Participants take colchicine or standard care for 12 months. The goal is to see if this gene change can guide personalized treatment to prevent future heart problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

colchicine

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simple anti-inflammatory drug like colchicine works better for people with certain gene changes, leading to more personalized heart attack prevention.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study (120 people) testing a specific gene marker. The results may not apply to everyone, and colchicine can cause side effects like stomach upset. It's too early to know if this approach will improve outcomes.
