Conditions

CAD - Coronary Artery Disease, CABG, Colchicine

Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate whether daily low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg), administered in addition to the standard secondary prevention regimen recommended in clinical guidelines after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), can further prevent graft failure after CABG through a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Interventions

Colchicine 0.5 mg once daily will be given on the basis of guideline-recommended standard secondary prevention therapy after CABG for 24 months.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo one tablet once daily will be given on the basis of guideline-recommended standard secondary prevention therapy after CABG for 24 months.

Exclusion criteria

1. Severe valvular heart disease requiring concomitant or staged valvular surgery; 2. History of non-skin cancer in the past 3 years; 3. Inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhea; 4. Neuromuscular diseases or non-transient creatine kinase levels greater than 3 times the upper limit of the normal range (except those associated with myocardial infarction); 5. Clinically significant non-transient (At least 2 laboratory tests) blood abnormalities (Hemoglobin \<100g/L or hematocrit \< 30% or \> 52% or white blood cell count \< 3×109/L or platelet count \< 100×109/L); 6.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
graft failure rate2 year after randomizationAt 24 months postoperatively, all patients who complete the study will undergo coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) to assess graft patency, calculated as 1 minus graft failure rate, where graft failure rate = (number of grafts graded B or O according to the Fitzgibbon classification / total number of grafts) × 100%.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
MACCE2 year after randomizationMajor adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events include cardiovascular death, non-fatal ischemic stroke, non-fatal spontaneous (non-operating-related) myocardial infarction, readmission for acute coronary syndrome, and Coronary revascularization
