Interventions
Colchicine 0.5mg tablet taken orally each day for the duration of the trial, It is expected that some participants randomized earlier in the trial will receive treatment for up to 5 years, whereas others randomized later in the trial will be on the trial medication for a minimum of 1 year. LoDoCo2 is an event driven intention to treat trial: participation continues until the requisite number of primary events have occurred and with the requirement of a minimal follow-up of 1 year. Adherence will be determined by questionnaire every 6 months at the time of collection of the new supply of the trial medication, No serum levels of colchicine metabolites are being measured
