Cost‐effectiveness of low dose colchicine prophylaxis when starting allopurinol using the “start‐low go‐slow” approach for gout: evidence from a non‐inferiority randomised double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the cost‐effectiveness of low‐dose colchicine prophylaxis for preventing gout flares when starting allopurinol using the “start‐low go‐slow” approach. Methods Participants with gout, fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology recommendations for starting urate‐lowering therapy and with serum urate

Exploring patients’ profiles associated with the resolution of acute calcium pyrophosphate arthritis treatedwith colchicine and prednisone: post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective The objective was to identify factors determining acute arthritis resolution and safety with colchicine and prednisone in acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis. Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of the COLCHICORT trial, which compared colchicine and prednisone for the treatment of acute CPP crystal arthritis, using a ...

How to maintain the maximal level of blinding in randomisation for a placebo-controlled drug trial

Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2019
We illustrate the approach of randomising treatments and compare it with the traditional approach of randomising patients, using a case study drawn from the authors’ experience in clinical trials. The setting is a double-blind parallel two-arm randomised
