Anti-platelet Effects of Colchicine in Healthy Volunteers
- Registration Number
- NCT02140372
- Lead Sponsor
- NYU Langone Health
- Brief Summary
This is a pilot study. Volunteers will be given 1.8 mg (1.2 mg followed by 0.6 mg one hour later), 1.2 mg, or 0.6 mg of colchicine. Blood will be collected prior to drug administration, 2 hours after colchicine administration, and 24 hours after colchicine administration via the antecubital vein and evaluated for markers of platelet activity and inflammation.
