The UK’s RECOVERY trial put out the word on Friday that it’s halting enrollment in its colchicine study after a data monitoring committee saw “no convincing evidence that further recruitment would provide conclusive proof of worthwhile mortality benefit either overall or in any pre-specified subgroup.”

In a preliminary analysis of 11,162 patients randomized to receive either colchicine or standard care alone, there was no significant difference in the primary endpoint of 28-day mortality, according to researchers.
