About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Colchicine in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Inflammation

The main purpose of the CHIPS trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of colchicine in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients with inflammation, including the effects of colchicine on circulating inflammatory markers, cardiac structure, cardiac function, clinical symptoms and exercise capacity in HFpEF patients.

Read the detailed description

HFpEF is a disease with complex pathophysiological mechanisms, and inflammation has been found to be strongly associated with the onset and progression of HFpEF. Anti-inflammatory treatments begin to cut a striking figure in cardiovascular disease therapy. The LoDoCo2 trial showed a significant prognostic improvement of colchicine in patients with chronic coronary artery disease, and the latest COLICA trial, showed that 8 weeks of colchicine treatment significantly reduced levels of circulating inflammatory markers in patients with decompensated heart failure without serious adverse effects. However, at present, the efficacy and safety of colchicine for the treatment of HFpEF remains unclear. The CHIPS trial is a multi-center, randomized, open-label clinical trial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of colchicine in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and inflammation. The investigators proposed to assess changes in KCCQ scores, NT-proBNP levels, echocardiography and plasma inflammatory marker levels in HFpEF patients treated with or without colchicine to evaluate the efficacy of colchicine in HFpEF treatment.

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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Junlong Chen, MD. (86-15111871817, junlongchen2024@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in KCCQ-CS scores (time frame: Up to 12 weeks). The study lists 3 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 NCT06604611, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 19 Sep 2024.
