Investigation of β-hydroxybutyrate Supplementation as Chemoprevention in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of BHB supplementation as a novel strategy to impede the development and progression of intestinal adenomas in individuals with FAP, thus potentially reducing the need for frequent upper endoscopies and colonoscopies and preventing the need for risk-reducing surgical intervention.
Chemopreventive Effect of Combination of Celecoxib and Metformin in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) leads to adenomas and eventual adenocarcinomas in colon and less frequently, duodenum. Chemopreventive strategies have been studied in FAP patients to delay the development of adenomas and cancers. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor have shown the regression of colorectal and duodenal adenomas …
Phase 3 Trial of eRapa in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug eRapa works to slow down the progression of disease in patients diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). Researchers will compare eRapa to Placebo. The questions to be answered by this trial are: Does taking eRapa help to …
Smart Measurement of Circulating Tumor DNA
The goal of this study is to develop a blood-test which can detect colorectal cancer in early stages. Participants will be asked to take an extra blood test, which will be analyzed further in the lab.
A Phase IIa Randomized, Double-Blinded Clinical Trial of Naproxen or Aspirin for Cancer Immune Interception in Lynch Syndrome
To learn about the effects of naproxen and aspirin on the normal colon in people with Lynch Syndrome.
Cold Atmospheric Plasma for the Endoscopic Treatment of Duodenal Polyps in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility for the treatment of precancerous peri-ampullary FAP polyps in the duodenum using low-thermal argonplasma.
Video Capsule Examination in Patients With Lynch Syndrome
Surveillance for colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients predisposed to develop CRC during their lifetime has been impacted by access to colonoscopy suites and endoscopy specialists in the past couple of years. An alternative method, namely the colon capsule, has been proposed, however this investigation is time consuming for the clinician …
Ten Versus Fifteen Centimeter Pouch in IPAA Surgery
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare outcome after construction of an ileal (J-shaped) reservoir of 10 versus 15 centimeters in primary ileal pouch-anal anastomosis surgery.
Vorinostat in Combination With Chemotherapy in Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors and CNS Malignancies
Investigators are testing new experimental drug combinations such as the combination of vorinostat, vincristine, irinotecan, and temozolomide in the hopes of finding a drug that may be effective against tumors that have come back or that have not responded to standard therapy. The goals of this study are: To find …
Pencil Beam Scanning in Patients With Renal Tumors
This is a pilot study to assess acute toxicity in patients receiving flank irradiation using proton therapy for renal tumors.
