在非节段型白癜风患者中评估，与安慰剂相比，磷酸芦可替尼乳膏治疗的有效性。

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of treatment with colchicine 0.5mg once daily as compared to placebo in patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis on the incidence of first occurrence of knee or hip replacement. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does colchicine lower the number of knee or hip replacements in participants with osteoarthritis?
Researchers will compare colchicine to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if colchicine works to treat osteoarthritis.
Participants will:
* take colchicine every day for 3 tot 4.5 years
* visit the clinic every year for check-up and tests such as blood samples and x-rays
* fill in questionnaires every 3 months

Digoxin is the oldest, market-authorized drug for heart failure (HF), and very cheap. A large trial with digoxin, the DIG trial, executed in the early nineties revealed a highly significant reduction in HF hospitalizations, but no effect on mortality. A post-hoc analysis of the DIG trial suggests that low serum concentrations of digoxin may not only improve HF hospitalizations but also mortality in chronic HF patients. To confirm these retrospective analyses, a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is necessary to establish the position of digoxin in the contemporary treatment of HF. Therefore, the investigators examine whether low-level, aiming for serum concentrations 0.5-0.9ng/mL, digoxin is beneficial in HF patients with reduced or mid-range ejection fractions (LVEF <50%).
