Study of early colon changes in people with FAP
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial looks at how many colon polyps progress toward cancer in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). It may help doctors better predict risk and guide safer monitoring or treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- Your colon initially had about 100 to 1000 visible polyps
- Your biopsy/pathology showed multiple adenomas (pre-cancer growths)
- Genetic testing shows you have an APC gene change (a specific DNA point change or a large deletion)
- You do not have colon cancer or evidence that it has spread to distant organs
- You can have a colonoscopy (camera test of the colon) and you can understand the study goals

This early-phase trial studies REC-4881 in adults with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a condition that causes many colon/rectum and duodenal polyps. It aims to see whether the treatment can safely help control or shrink polyp growth in people who have had bowel surgery.
This trial studies a tailored plan for surveillance (check-ups) and interventions to find and remove new growths early in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) after bowel surgery. It may help lower the chance of cancer by closely monitoring and treating polyps when they appear.
This trial tests a personalized plan for regularly checking and treating stomach and first-part of intestine polyps in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). It may help by catching problems early and choosing the right intervention at the right time.
This study looks at how bacteria and your environment might affect polyp growth in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) after colon removal. By collecting stool samples and medical information, researchers hope to find ways to reduce polyp risk.
This study reviews duodenal polyps in people with FAP to improve how they are classified. It uses existing medical records from endoscopies (scope tests) to help doctors better understand and manage polyp growth.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program can help people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) who have rectal polyps. You may qualify if you have FAP, have not had your rectum removed, have at least 5 rectal polyps larger than 2 mm, and are currently inactive.
