Colchicine: ECLA PHRI COLCOVID Trial The anti-inflammatory effect of colchicine on the cytokine storm made it a promising candidate for the treatment of COVID-19, and the drug is known to be safe and well tolerated. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in hospitalised patients have reported limited clinical benefits of colchicine, such as increased time to clinical deterioration (mean [SD] event-free survival time was 18.6 [0.83] days in the control group versus 20.7 [0.31] in the colchicine group; log-rank p=0.03) and reduced duration of oxygen supplementation therapy and hospitalisation.3,4
