RCT 250 late stage (80% on oxygen) hospitalized patients in the USA, showing no significant differences with combined colchicine/rosuvastatin treatment.
There was a trend towards increased risk, which authors note may be due to chance because the patients enrolled in the treatment arm were in more serious condition, for example, patients in the treatment arm were more frequently on oxygen, more frequently on HFNC/NIV, and had higher mean SOFA scores.
Colchicine 0.6mg two times daily for 3 days followed by 0.6mg daily, and high-intensity rosuvastatin 40mg daily. This study is excluded in the after exclusion results of meta analysis: very late stage, >50% on oxygen/ventilation at baseline.
risk of death, 75.0% higher, RR 1.75, p = 0.54, treatment 7 of 125 (5.6%), control 4 of 125 (3.2%), day 60.
risk of death, 100% higher, RR 2.00, p = 0.50, treatment 6 of 125 (4.8%), control 3 of 125 (2.4%), day 30.
risk of mechanical ventilation, 200.0% higher, RR 3.00, p = 0.28, treatment 6 of 125 (4.8%), control 2 of 125 (1.6%).
risk of severe case, 46.2% higher, RR 1.46, p = 0.34, treatment 19 of 125 (15.2%), control 13 of 125 (10.4%), day 60, primary outcome.
risk of severe case, 72.7% higher, RR 1.73, p = 0.17, treatment 19 of 125 (15.2%), control 11 of 125 (8.8%), day 30, primary outcome.

Design A pragmatic, open-­label, multicentre, randomised controlled trial conducted from October 2020 to September 2021. Follow-­up was conducted at 30 and 60 days. The electronic medical record was used at all stages of the trial including screening, enrolment, randomisation, event ascertainment and follow-­up. Setting Four centres in the Yale New Haven Health System. Participants Non-­critically ill hospitalised patients with COVID-­19. Interventions Patients were randomised 1:1 to either colchicine plus high-­intensity rosuvastatin in addition to standard of care versus standard of care alone. Assigned treatment was continued for the duration of index hospitalisation or 30 days, whichever was shorter. Primary and secondary outcome measures The prespecified primary endpoint was progression to severe COVID-­19 disease (new high-­flow or non-­invasive ventilation, mechanical ventilation, need for vasopressors, renal replacement therapy or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, or death) or arterial/venous thromboembolic events (ischaemic stroke, myocardial infarction, deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) evaluated at 30 days. Results Among the 250 patients randomised in this trial (125 to each arm), the median age was 61 years, 44% were women, 15% were Black and 26% were Hispanic/ Latino. As part of the standard of care, patients received remdesivir (87%), dexamethasone (92%), tocilizumab (18%), baricitinib (2%), prophylactic/therapeutic anticoagulation (98%) and aspirin (91%). The trial was terminated early by the data and safety monitoring board for futility. No patients were lost to follow-­up due to electronic medical record follow-­up. There was no significant difference in the primary endpoint at 30..
