Overview
CLEAR SYNERGY is an international, randomized placebo controlled trial of the poisonous alkaline colchicine and antagonist treatment of spironolactone in patients with a history of a heart attack(s). Blood is drawn from the participants initially and at a 3 months follow-up. They will have an also have an additional 2 tablespoons of blood drawn.
The sub study objectives are to:
- Assess the effect of colchicine on neutrophil activation in response to heart attacks.
- Examine clinical and genetic factors that determine heterogeneity of treatment response and distinguish colchicine responders from people who don’t respond.
- Explore the derivation of a risk score that includes markers of neutrophil activity and is associated with adjudicated MACE, an endpoint or cardiovascular research, over 3 years after the heart attacks, and assess the impact of colchicine on the relation between this risk score and MACE.
