CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Efficacy
To evaluate the long-term efficacy of low dose colchicine on the reduction of a composite primary outcome cluster of recurrent major vascular events
Secondary objectives 1
- To evaluate the efficacy on each individual component of composite outcome, and total death
Conditions and MedDRA coding
Stroke, Ischemic, TIA, Cardiac Disease, Atherosclerosis, Myocardial Infarction, Coronary Syndrome, Cerebral Infarction
Eligibility criteria
Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor
Inclusion criteria 12
- Cerebral infarction (CI) proven by neuro-imaging (MRI or head-CT), immediately once the neurologic deficit is stabilized (investigator judgement) if the patient was on antiplatelet agent monotherapy after the qualifying event, or after 21 days if the patient was on clopidogrel plus aspirin after the qualifying event, or after 21 to 30 days if the patient was on ticagrelor plus aspirin after the qualifying event (TIA with documented ischemic lesion (MRI or CT) in the appropriate area corresponding to the symptoms will be considered CI, following the current definition)
- AND documented atherosclerotic stenosis:- presence of carotid atherosclerotic stenosis (on the basis of carotid duplex, CTA, MRA, XRA – only the report will be required to document atherosclerotic disease) ipsilateral to the cerebral ischemic symptoms -OR presence of atherosclerotic stenosis of another cerebral artery (documented vertebral artery stenosis, basilar artery stenosis, other intracranial artery stenosis) ipsilateral to the ischemic area -OR presence of atherosclerotic disease of the aortic arch with a plaque ≥4mm in thickness with or without superimposed thrombus, OR a plaque <4 mm with a superimposed mobile thrombus (detected by transesophageal echocardiography or CT angiography)
- OR with a history of symptomatic coronary artery disease
- OR TIA lasting more 10 minutes or more (with motor symptoms or aphasia/dysarthria or visual defect), with total resolution and no brain lesion on neuro-imaging (TIA) If the patient was on antiplatelet agent monotherapy after the qualifying event, or after 21 days if the patient was on clopidogrel plus aspirin after the qualifying event, or after 21 to 30 days if the patient was on ticagrelor plus aspirin after the qualifying event - AND with ipsilateral carotid stenosis that was revascularized (endarterectomy or stenting) -OR with ipsilateral, potentially causal intracranial stenosis ≥70%
- with no clear indication of colchicine treatment (gout, Mediterranean fever)
- age equal or above 18
- Rankin score less than ≤4 (ranges from 0 to 6, with 0 indicating no symptoms, 1 no disability, 2 to 3 needing some help with daily activities, 4 to 5 dependent or bedridden, and 6 death)

Exclusion criteria 22
- Hypersensitivity to colchicine or any of the excipients.
- Anticipated concomitant oral or intravenous therapy with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors than cannot be stopped for the course of the course of this study
- CI/TIA due to arterial dissection (as documented following the judgment of the investigator) or due to cardiac source of embolism without documented atherosclerotic disease (e.g., mitral stenosis or endomyocardial fibrosis, endocarditis) a patient with atrial fibrillation, or with a history of myocardial infarction, or with calcified aortic stenosis will be eligible if the above inclusion criteria are also met]
- Symptomatic hemorrhagic stroke (the mere presence of asymptomatic cerebral hemosiderin deposits –so called “microbleedings”

- Anticipated pregnancy at time of enrollment in the study
- Breastfeeding woman
- Patients participating in another pharmaco therapeutic program with an experimental therapy that is known to affect colchicine therapy.
- Leukopenia <3000UI/μl
- Major digestive disorders (chronic diarrhea, inflammatory disease of the digestive tract as uncontrolled ulcerative colitis or active Crohn disease)
- Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min)
- Patients with severe hepatic impairment (Prothrombin Time < 50%),
- Immunosuppression (all immunosuppressive treatments are forbidden, except for inhaled form corticosteroids),, medullary aplasia
- Active chronic inflammatory disease with chronically elevated blood CRP/hsCRP levels (as in lupus or Horton's disease; patients with asthma or COPD are eligible),
- Chronic active infection (e.g. tuberculosis). HIV is accepted if treatments taken do not interact with experimental treatments,
- Evolving cancer with a life expectancy less than 3 years,
- Hemodynamic instability (need for amines for more than 24 hours, circulatory assistance)
- A recent severe sepsis (7 days) or all recent acute reaches
- Chronic treatment (for more than 6 months) with corticosteroids (oral or intravenous) or NSAIDs (or repeated high-dose intake for less than 7 days).
- Prohibited treatments: All treatments contraindicated during the use of colchicine for a few clinical cases, such as chronic inflammatory diseases and chronic infectious diseases, we will ask the coordinating investigator to validate the patient's eligibility.

- Event description
- The sponsor declared a new event with urgent security measure due to the withdrawal of the AstraZeneca laboratory that stop supplying ticagrelor.
Please notice that this follow of new event with urgent safety measure is a follow-up of the initial new event with urgent safety measure declared on 16-Jul-2025 in the "unexpected event" section instead of the section "urgent safety measure" (declared in the wrong place by mistake). - Measures taken
- The sponsor has implemented the following safety measures on 11-Jul-2025:
- Closure of inclusions in the THETIS arm (ticagrelor vs aspirin). Randomization continues only in the RIISC arm. The electronic CRF has been updated from 12-Jul-2025.
After several meetings (on 24-Jul, on 25-Jul and on 29-Jul) to review the protocol design following the discontinuation of ticagrelor, the sponsor amended the protocol as follows:
- Removal of the THETIS hypothesis,
- RIISC hypothesis redefined into colchicine on top of best medical (ARM 1) versus no colchicine on top of best medical (ARM 2).
A substantial amendment and updated protocol have been submitted to the regulatory authorities on 31-Jul-2025.

- On 08-Jan-2025, AstraZeneca laboratory informed the sponsor that it agreed to extend the inclusion for an additional year until May 2026, with a recruitment target of 1400 patients by November 2025 (corresponding at 50% of enrolment).
On 04-Jul-2025, meeting with structures in charge of RIISC-THETIS research (DRCI project referent, Clinical Research Unit project referent, Coordinating Investigator, the vigilance department and DSMB members) to discuss the fact that AstraZeneca would stop supplying ticagrelor to new participants if a target of 1400 participants was not reached by November (target unattainable with current number of inclusions at 650 on 04-Jul-2025).
