Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose of the pilot trial: To assess the feasibility of a full-scale, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial assessing whether low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg daily) reduces the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in patients with proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Description:

Eligible and consenting patients will be randomized via a central web-based randomization system (1:1 ratio) to receive one tablet of colchicine 0.5 mg or identical matching placebo daily starting within 7 days of initiation of anticoagulation for acute, symptomatic, proximal lower extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) for a treatment course of 180 days (+/- 7 days). Study drug will start within 24 hours of randomization. The type, dose, and duration of anticoagulant therapy : unfractionated heparin, Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH), fondaparinux, Direct Oral Anticoagulation (DOAC) or Vitamin K Agonist (VKA) will be left to the discretion of the treating physician or local investigator. The study drug will be continued until the end of the treatment period (180 days +/- 7 days). All patients will be observed until the end of study follow-up (365 days +/- 7 days).
