Evaluation of the effects of Colchicin and Simvastatin combination therapy on the improvement of clinical and laboratory signs and symptoms of the patients with bronchectasis due to sulfur mustard gas inhalation.
The aim of this study is evaluation of the effects of Colchicin and Simvastatin combination therapy on the improvement of clinical and laboratory signs and symptoms of the patients with bronchectasis due to sulfur mustard gas inhalation. This is a double blind randomized phase III clinical trial. We will be recruited patients with bronchectasis due to sulfur mustard gas inhalation who will be referred to the pulmonary clinics affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. The main inclusion criteria are exposure to mustard gas during the Iran-Iraq war and suffering from bronchectasis (confirmed with CT scan). The main exclusion criteria are using Statins or Colchicin in the last 3 months of study starting time; patients with bronchectasis without lung injury due to sulfur mustard gas and smoking. We will enroll 50 patients with mustard gas induced bronchectasis. Participants will randomly be assigned into intervention and placebo groups and will receive Simvastatin (10 mg) and Colchicine (10 mg) per day for 3 months in intervention group and two starch tablets per day for 3 months in placebo group. As the primary outcome of our study, lung function, clinical signs and symptoms of the patients and the levels of IgE, IgM, IgA and IgG will be assessed before and after intervention. Also, we will consider health-related quality of life as secondary outcomes.
