Trial design
Randomised, placebo tablets visually identical to colchicine tablets (consisting of potato starch and lactose monohydrate). study is colchicine adjunctive to standard of care (soc); colchicine dosing: 0.5 mg once daily (od) for two weeks then 0.5 mg twice daily (bid) for two weeks. comparator arm: placebo + soc.-controlled, crossover Phase IV trial across 1 site in Denmark.
