简要总结
We are doing this research study to better understand the mechanism of action of colchicine, a drug commonly prescribed for gout. Precisely, we aim to evaluate the effect of colchicine on a specific protein (GDF15) blood levels at different timepoints after its administration.
This research study will compare GDF15 blood levels after the administration of colchicine or placebo. The placebo looks exactly like colchicine but contains no active drug. During this study, participants may get a placebo instead of colchicine. Placebos are used in research studies to see if the results are due to the study drug or due to other reasons.
详细描述
This will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, pilot study evaluating the effect of a single FDA-approved dose of colchicine in healthy adults on plasma GDF15 levels. Randomization will be stratified by sex as this may be a factor influencing GDF15 levels.
On Day 1, subjects will be admitted on the CCI 9A unit early in the morning, 30 minutes before the study drug administration. They will be asked to fast from midnight before the dose until 2 hours after. Water is allowed during the fasting period. Baseline blood tests will be drawn and a peripheral line will be left in place for further blood draws. A dose of either colchicine or placebo will be administered. Blood samples will be drawn at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 hours. The patient will be discharged home after the last blood draw and the removal of the peripheral line. Two other blood draws will be performed using standard procedures at 24 and 48 hours post study drug administration at the research clinic

排除标准
- •Pregnant or lactating women
- •Use of colchicine within 28 days prior to study drug administration.
- •Renal insufficiency (GFR < 50 mL/min)
- •Use of any drug or product known to interact with colchicine including CYP3A4 and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors in the 14 days prior study drug administration, such as atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, amprenavir, aprepitant, diltiazem, erythromycin, fluconazole, fosamprenavir, verapamil, cyclosporine and ranolazine.

结局指标
主要结局
Plasma GDF15 levels
时间窗: Before product administration and 2, 4, 6 ,8, 10,12, 24 and 48 hours after product administration
The primary endpoint will be the plasma GDF15 level before and at different timepoints after colchicine administration. Plasma GDF-15 level will be determined using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) testing.
