Colchicine for the Prevention of Recurrence in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy RElated IntraCerebral Hemorrhage
Recruiting now · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Intracerebral Hemorrhage Lobar
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of colchicine for preventing intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) recurrence in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-ICH at high risk of recurrence. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is colchicine safe for CAA-ICH patients? * Is colchicine well tolerated for CAA-ICH patients? Researchers will compare colchicine to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if colchicine is safe and tolerable for CAA-ICH patients and works to prevent ICH recurrence. Participants will: * Take colchicine or a placebo every day for 12 months * Receive telephone follow-ups at 3 and 9 months, and visit the clinic at 6 and 12 months for checkups and tests * Control blood pressure and improve lifestyle

- Known allergy, sensitivity or intolerance to colchicine;
- Contraindications or inability to complete brain MRI or susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) scans;
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding;
- Recent participation in any other interventional study in the past 30 days before enrollment;
