NCT06440694

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).
