Colchicine to Quench the Inflammatory Response After Deep Vein Thrombosis (The Conquer-DVT Pilot Trial)
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This trial seeks to assess the feasibility of a full-scale, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial assessing whether low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg daily) reduces the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in patients with proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of an allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to colchicine. 2. Requirement of colchicine for other indications. 3. Active or chronic diarrhea, or documented inflammatory bowel disease (i.e., Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis), collagenous colitis or irritable bowel syndrome or existing blood dyscrasias. 4.
