Multi-omics analysis of colchicine effects in acute coronary syndrome patients

Official title: Multi-omics Characterization and Model Construction of Colchicine Anti-inflammatory Therapy Efficacy in Acute Coronary Syndromes Patients

Run by Shanghai Tongji Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine · NCT07064109 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will try to see if daily low-dose colchicine reduces inflammation and to find biological markers that predict who benefits among people with acute coronary syndrome.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–80 with acute coronary syndrome (STEMI or NSTE-ACS) who can receive standardised drug therapy, are able to provide informed consent, and have no contraindication to colchicine.

Probably not a fit

People already on long-term colchicine, those with contraindications such as severe hepatic or renal impairment, thrombocytopenia, active uncontrollable infection, certain immune diseases, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those unable to attend the Shanghai site are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective cohort will enroll adults (18–80) with STEMI or NSTE-ACS who receive standard therapy plus colchicine 0.5 mg daily and collect clinical data and biospecimens over time. Researchers will perform multi-omics profiling (for example genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to map molecular changes associated with treatment response. The multi-omics data will be integrated to construct models that identify biological signatures of responders versus non-responders to colchicine. The work is based at Shanghai Tongji Hospital and emphasizes mechanism-driven patient stratification rather than only clinical endpoint testing.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could help doctors target colchicine to the ACS patients most likely to benefit, potentially reducing recurrent heart events and avoiding unnecessary side effects.

How similar studies have gone: Large randomized trials (for example COLCOT and LoDoCo2) have shown colchicine can reduce cardiovascular events in coronary disease, but using multi-omics to predict individual response is a novel approach.
