Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To find out whether colchicine 0.5mg once daily can safely reduce the composite <br/ ><br>primary endpoint: CV death, myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, ischemic <br/ ><br>stroke, recurrent MI or Urgent hospitalization for angina leading to coronary <br/ ><br>revascularization in patients with CAD undergoing PCI over a <br/ ><br>period of 6 months when compared to placeboTimepoint: 6 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To find out whether colchicine 0.5mg once daily can safely reduce the independent <br/ ><br>secondary endpoint: Inflammatory biomarkers (ESR,CRP,hsCRP,albumin,IL- <br/ ><br>6,ferritin,uric acid,fibrinogen) ,LDL cholesterol level and adverse drug events in patients <br/ ><br>of CAD undergoing PCI over a period of 6 months when compared to placeboTimepoint: 6 months
