About this study

The investigators want to test the theory that Colchicine, an anti- inflammatory medication, can decrease the inflammation in the chest tube drainage after the Fontan operation, and can decrease the amount of time that patients having this surgery will have drainage.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ColchicineDrug
Colchicine is an alkaloid approved in 1961 for the use in Familial Mediterranean Fever in adults and children 4 years of age or older. It has been widely used for decades in other indications, such as Gout, recurrent pericarditis, pericardial effusions and other inflammatory diseases. This drug is commercially available and is approved in children 4 years and older.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Colchicine | Experimental | Colchicine will be given at 0.6 mg once daily for the duration of chest tube output plus 24 hours after chest tube removal with a maximum of 4 weeks duration. Receives: Drug: Colchicine |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Cytokine Total Mass in Pleural Fluid From Patients Treated With Colchicine
Cytokine total mass measured by the Bio-rad Bio-Plex ProHuman Cytokine 17-plex Assay.
Measured: Postoperative day 1 ; day most distal from surgery, approximately 7 days after surgery
Difference in Change of Cytokine Concentrations in Pleural Fluid Patients Treated With Colchicine Compared to Historical Controls
Difference is shown via two columns of separate data, but given that enrollment didn't meet target before termination statistical analysis was not done for this measure
Measured: Postoperative day 1 ; day most distal from surgery, approximately 7 days after surgery
Secondary outcomes (6)
Cytokine Total Mass as Measured in Postoperative Fontan Patients Treated Empirically With Colchicine
Particularly Cytokine total mass of TNF-α, MIP-1β, IL-8, and IL-10, determined by the Bio-rad Bio-Plex ProHuman Cytokine 17-plex Assay
Data was only collected while patients had chest tubes in place (up to 7 days only)
Measured: Postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 4, 7
Difference in Cytokine Total Mass, as Measured in Postoperative Fontan Patients Treated Empirically With Colchicine in Comparison to a Cohort of Postoperative Fontan Patients
Cytokine total mass measured by Bio-rad Bio-Plex ProHuman Cytokine 17-plex Assay
Data was only collected from Colchicine patients while they had chest tubes in place (up to 7 days). For historical controls data was collected up through Day 10
Measured: Postoperative days 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10
Duration of Pleural Drainage as Measured in Postoperative Fontan Patients Treated Empirically With Colchicine
Duration is measured in days, from date of Fontan surgery to chest tube drainage discontinuation.
Measured: Date of chest tube drainage discontinuation, approximately 11 days after surgery
Difference of Duration of Pleural Drainage of Two Groups, in Empiric Treatment With Colchicine Compared to a Cohort of Fontan Patients Not Treated With Colchicine
Duration is measured in days, from date of Fontan surgery to chest tube drainage discontinuation
Measured: Date of chest tube drainage discontinuation, approximately 11 days after surgery
Hospital Length of Stay as Measured in Postoperative Fontan Patients Treated Empirically With Colchicine
Measured in days, from date of Fontan surgery to chest tube drainage discontinuation
Measured: Hospital discharge at study completion, approximately 2 weeks after surgery
Difference in Hospital Length of Stay
Measured in days compared to historical controls
Measured: Hospital discharge at study completion, approximately 2 weeks after surgery

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The investigators found that there is inflammation in the chest drainage in patients after the Fontan operation. The investigators want to test the theory that Colchicine, an anti- inflammatory medication, can decrease the inflammation in the chest tube drainage after the Fontan operation, and can decrease the amount of time that patients having this surgery will have drainage.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Colchicine in people with Single-ventricle and Heart Diseases, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 May 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Cytokine Total Mass in Pleural Fluid From Patients Treated With Colchicine (time frame: Postoperative day 1 ; day most distal from surgery, approximately 7 days after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03575572, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
