Daily use of low-dose colchicine may slow growth of blood mutations linked to disease

Taking low-dose colchicine daily may slow the progression of a common acquired gene mutation found in the blood of older adults that can lead to certain blood cancers and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a subanalysis of the LoDoCo2 trial published in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, and simultaneously presented at ESC Congress 2025.
