The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of colchicine for preventing intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) recurrence in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-ICH at high risk of recurrence. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is colchicine safe for CAA-ICH patients? * Is colchicine well tolerated for CAA-ICH patients? Researchers will compare colchicine to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if colchicine is safe and tolerable for CAA-ICH patients and works to prevent ICH recurrence. Participants will: * Take colchicine or a placebo every day for 12 months * Receive telephone follow-ups at 3 and 9 months, and visit the clinic at 6 and 12 months for checkups and tests * Control blood pressure and improve lifestyle

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥55 years; * Diagnosed with "probable CAA with supporting pathology" or "probable CAA" according to the modified Boston criteria (version 1.5); * High risk of recurrent ICH, defined as: 1 prior symptomatic ICH and presence of cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), or ≥2 prior symptomatic ICHs; * Time interval since symptom onset of the most recent ICH: ≤3 months (earlier enrollment is preferred if criteria are met); * Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤4 at randomization; * Written informed consent from the participant or their legally authorized representative before study enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: * Secondary causes of ICH; * Pre-existing moderate-to-severe renal, liver or blood disorders (anaemia \[hemoglobin \<10g/dL\], thrombocytopaenia \[platelet count \<100×109/L\], leucopenia \[white blood cell \<3×109/L\], cirrhosis or severe hepatic dysfunction, renal insufficiency \[estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<15mL/min\]); * Prior diagnosis of gout, peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhea; * Concurrent treatment with regular immune-suppressant (corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab), moderate-to-strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (atazanavir, clarithromycin, darunavir/ritonavir, indinavir, itraconazole, ketoconazole, lopinavir/ritonavir, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, tipranavir/ritonavir) or P-glycoprotein inhibitors (cyclosporine, ranolazine); * Known allergy, sensitivity or intolerance to colchicine; * Contraindications or inability to complete brain MRI or susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) scans; * Pregnancy or breastfeeding; * Recent participation in any other interventional study in the past 30 days before enrollment; * Not expected to survive the follow-up period; * Inability to adhere to study procedures; * Any condition in which investigators believe that participating in this study may be harmful to the patient.
