ESCALATion of Medical Therapy Following Multimodality Plaque Evaluation in High-risk Chronic Coronary Syndromes

ESCALATE will provide a thorough investigation of how anti-inflammatory therapy, with low-dose colchicine, affects patients with stable coronary artery disease. Using traditional clinical risk factors and multimodality intracoronary imaging, the investigators will identify patients with the greatest clinical risk. Participants will undergo repeat multimodality intracoronary imaging assessment at 6 months to measure the impact once-daily low-dose colchicine therapy on the structure and function of coronary arteries. This study will provide valuable insights into how anti-inflammatory therapies, such as colchicine, may improve outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease.
