Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective of this study will be to assess in patients presenting with acute myocarditis the efficacy of a 6 months treatment with colchicine versus placebo on the inflammatory myocardial damage evaluated by Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) (% of LV mass) on CMR or on clinical outcome assessed on the rate of rehospitalization for heart Failure or acute myocarditis recurrence; or clinically relevant recurrent chest pain (defined as leading to an unplanned/urgent consultation or hospitalization); or sustained ventricular arrhythmias; or left ventricular assistance; or heart transplantation; or cardiovascular death at 6 months. ;Secondary Objective: 1.To evaluate the safety of colchicine in acute myocarditis during 6 months: 2.To evaluate the efficacy of colchicine on secondary efficacy endpoints, including: a/ Each component of the composite clinical endpoint at 6 months and one year: -Occurrence of heart failure or acute myocarditis recurrence; -Occurrence of clinically relevant recurrent chest pain (defined as leading to an unplanned/urgent consultation or hospitalization) -Occurrence of sustained ventricular arrhythmias, -Occurrence of left ventricular assistance -Occurrence of heart transplantation, -Occurrence of cardiovascular death b/ The LVEF, LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, determined by a follow-up CMR at 6 months determined centrally by the Corelab, c/ The relative variation in LVEF, LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, determined by a follow-up transthoracic echocardiography at 6 months .... ;Primary end point(s): NA;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: NA

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Le pourcentage de changement de l’osmolalité urinaire entre baseline (avant le traitement) et à 6 et 12 mois. 2. Nombre moyen de mictions nocturnes déclaré par le patient avant le traitement et à 2, 6 et 12 mois. 3. Score des échelles d'intensité de la soif et de détresse avant le traitement et à 2, 6 et 12 mois. 4. Présence d'une polyurie (définie comme un débit urinaire quotidien > 3 L/jour) après 2, 6 et 12 mois de traitement. 5. Score de l'échelle de qualité de vie (SF36) avant le traitement et à 2, 6 et 12 mois. 6. eDFG (estimé par l'équation CKD-EPI basée sur la mesure de la créatinine sérique standardisée) avant le traitement et à 2, 6 et 12 mois. 7.a Scores de l'échelle d'humeur (YMRS et MADRS), score de l'échelle d'anxiété (GAD7) et score du sommeil de Pittsburgh (PSQI) avant le traitement et à 2, 6 et 12 mois. 7.b Nombre total d'admissions à l'hôpital pour rechute maniaque ou dépressive pendant les 12 mois de traitement. 8. Différence des niveaux résiduels de lithium plasmatique avant et après la période de traitement de 2 mois.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - CMR at 6 months - Composite clinical endpoint at 6 months and 1 year
