Clinical Trial Summary

The present study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of perioperative colchicine with regard to operative complications, in patients with acute coronary syndrome and indication for cardiac post-surgical revascularization. Patients will be selected and randomized while still in the emergency room and medication (colchicine 0.5mg every 12 hours or placebo) will be started within 24 hours of randomization, being maintained for 30 days after surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

Atherosclerotic disease and its consequences, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, are the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a rising prevalence as the age pyramid changes with the advancement of society's modernization and medical development. Despite advances, the risk of a new cardiovascular event persists in patients with acute coronary syndrome at around 20% in 3 years. The search for intervention in the inflammatory pathway of atherosclerotic disease in acute coronary syndrome has been the subject of several studies in recent years. In particular, colchicine, a low-cost medication that acts on the inflammatory, atherosclerotic and arrhythmic process, has been the subject of studies in the setting of acute and chronic coronary syndrome and in the perioperative period of coronary artery bypass grafting. In the elective perioperative context, it presents data that point to a reduction in myocardial injury and post-pericardiotomy syndrome. In addition to the pathophysiological therapeutic potential in postoperative atrial fibrillation, despite not having been demonstrated in a clinical study. The present study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of perioperative colchicine with regard to operative complications, in patients with acute coronary syndrome and indication for cardiac post-surgical revascularization. Patients will be selected and randomized while still in the emergency room and medication (colchicine 0.5mg every 12 hours or placebo) will be started within 24 hours of randomization, being maintained for 30 days after surgery. The primary outcome will be a composite of postpericardiotomy syndrome, postoperative fibrillation, and periprocedural infarction. Secondary outcomes will be: (1) Death; (2) acute myocardial infarction; (3) stroke; (4) Readmission; (5) Post-pericardiotomy syndrome; (6) Postoperative atrial fibrillation; (7) Periprocedural infarction; (8) Infection; (9) myocardial injury; (10) Length of stay. Evidences on the use of colchicine in the perioperative scenario of myocardial revascularization in patients with acute coronary syndrome are scarce, and the present study is a pioneer in this evaluation. Objective documentation of the benefit of colchicine would imply the prescription of the current medication, with great potential for modifying the guidelines of specific medical societies. ;
