The Role of Colchicine in Reducing The Rate of Myocardial Reperfusion Injury

The Role of Colchicine in Reducing The Rate of Myocardial Reperfusion Injury in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Study on NLRP3, ASC, Caspase, and Troponin

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the role of colchicine in reducing the rate of myocardial reperfusion injury in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does colchicine reduce the rate of myocardial reperfusion injury ?
• Does colchicine reduce the concentration of markers of myocardial reperfusion injury (NLRP3, ASC, caspase, and troponin) ?

Participants will

• Be grouped into intervention group and control group blindly. Patients in the intervention group receive loading dose of colchicine 1 x 2 mg followed by colchicine 2 x 0,5 mg daily for two consecutive days. Patients in the control group receive loading dose of placebo (lactose) 1 x 2 mg followed by lactose 2 x 0,5 mg daily for two consecutive days.
• Undergo peripheral blood vein examination before primary percutaneous coronary intervention, after primary percutaneous coronary intervention, 24 hour after primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and 48 hour after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Researchers will compare intervention group and control group to see if colchicine reduces the rate of myocardial reperfusion injury and reduces the concentration of markers of myocardial reperfusion injury (NLRP3, ASC, caspase, and troponin) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction based on clinical symptoms, signs, and electrocardiography who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention
• Patients aged 18 - 80 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with malignancy
• Patients with allergic reaction to colchicine
• Stroke within the last 3 months
• Severe infection (sepsis)
• Chronic kidney disease with eGFR of <30mL/min/1.73m2
