Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Prophylaxis

To assess the benefit of low-dose colchicine treatment (0. 5 mg/day) in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events (incidence of the primary event consisting of: cardiovascular death; acute coronary syndrome; angina requiring hospitalisation; coronary revascularisation; transient ischaemic attack or non-cardioembolic ischaemic stroke; or peripheral vasculopathy, defined as acute peripheral arterial embolism or ischaemia, or need for amputation or percutaneous surgical revascularisation) in patients with moderate chronic kidney disease

Secondary objectives 4

  1. - To evaluate the efficacy in the prevention of each vascular event separately.
  2. - To assess the effect on renal disease progression.
  3. - To describe the effect on molecular markers of inflammation, fibrosis and renal progression.
  4. To determine the safety of the treatment.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 2

  1. incidence of the primary event consisting of: death from cardiovascular causes; acute coronary syndrome; angina requiring hospitalisation; coronary revascularisation; transient ischaemic attack or non-cardioembolic ischaemic stroke; or peripheral vascular disease, defined as acute peripheral arterial embolism or ischaemia, or the need for amputation or percutaneous surgical revascularisation
  2. Incidence of primary event consisting of death from cardiovascular causes; acute coronary syndrome; angina requiring hospitalization; coronary revascularization; transient ischemic attack or noncardioembolic ischemic stroke; or peripheral vasculopathy, defined as embolism or acute peripheral arterial ischemia, or need for amputation or surgical or percutaneous revascularization.

Secondary endpoints 2

  1. - Incidence of death from cardiovascular causes. - Incidence of acute coronary syndrome. - Incidence of hospitalization for cardiac angina. - Incidence of coronary revascularization. - Incidence of transient ischemic attack or noncardioembolic ischemic stroke. - Incidence of peripheral vasculopathy, defined as embolism or acute peripheral arterial ischemia, or need for amputation or percutaneous surgical revascularization.
  2. - Individual and combined incidence of renal events: o 40% decrease in glomerular filtration rate estimated by CKD-EPI with respect to baseline. o Doubling of serum creatinine over its baseline level. o Persistent drop in glomerular filtration rate estimated by CKD-EPI below 15 mL/min/1.73m2. o Need for renal replacement therapy on a sustained basis. - Effect on plasma levels of markers of inflammation, fibrosis and renal progression. - Incidence of adverse events.
