Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

To evaluate the effect of colchicine on coronary vessel wall inflammation

Secondary objectives 6

  1. To evaluate the effect of colchicine on major cardiovascular adverse events
  2. To evaluate the effect of colchicine on vessel wall inflammation, vessel wall calcification, and lymphoid organs
  3. To evaluate the effect of colchicine on plasma markers of inflammation
  4. To evaluate the effect of colchicine on the composition of the blood immune profile
  5. To evaluate the effect of colchicine on immune-related adverse events
  6. To evaluate the effect of the gut microbiome composition on the effect of colchicine

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Atherosclerosis

Study design 1 period

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 Open-label randomized controlled trial
Patients with cancer who are planned for >3 months of treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor will be randomized to 12 weeks of colchicine 0.5 mg once daily or usual care.
Randomised Controlled None Colchicine: Colchicine 0.5 mg once daily
Usual care: Standard of care

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 3

  1. Age 50 years or older
  2. Planned for treatment with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor for at least 3 months
  3. Signs of atherosclerosis on imaging (e.g. coronary artery calcium score >0 on cancer staging chest CT-scan or calcifications of aorta, abdominal arteries, or iliac arteries abdomino/pelvic CT-scan)

Exclusion criteria 9

  1. Chest radiation therapy in prior 3 months (or planned during the study)
  2. Moderate or severe renal impairment (eGFR <50 mL/min/1.73 m2 based on CKD-EPI)
  3. Child Pugh B or C liver cirrhosis
  4. Known intolerance to colchicine
  5. Use of immunosuppressive medication at randomization
  6. Use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
  7. Colchicine use in previous <3 months
  8. Indication for long-term treatment with colchicine
  9. Inability to provide written informed consent

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Change in maximum target-to-background ratio (TBRmax) in coronary arteries, which quantifies 68Gallium-DOTATATE uptake, between baseline and 12-week follow-up on PET-scan.

Secondary endpoints 9

  1. TBRmax in carotid arteries
  2. TBRmax in aorta
  3. Mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) in spleen
  4. SUVmean in bone marrow
  5. Coronary artery calcium score
  6. Major adverse cardiovascular events (i.e. myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, ischemia-driven coronary revascularisation, death)
  7. All-cause mortality
  8. Immune related adverse events
  9. Biomarkers (e.g. blood inflammatory markers, PBMCs, plasma cytokines, metabolomics, and microbiome composition)
