Personalized follow-up to prevent cancer after FAP surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have FAP, confirmed by a genetic test for an APC change or by having over 100 colon polyps with a strong family history
- You are age 18 or older
- You previously had preventive bowel surgery (procto/colectomy) such as IRA/ISA or IPAA
- Doctors believe they can remove all needed polyps during repeat endoscopy visits
- There was no cancer seen at your baseline (starting) endoscopy
- You don’t currently need additional surgery

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 tracks how colorectal polyps develop in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a genetic condition that causes many polyps. It aims to better understand and possibly prevent cancer, without immediate surgery.
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 tests a new drug, TPST-1495, to reduce the number of benign polyps in the small intestine for people with a condition called familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). If you join, you will likely not know if you receive the drug or a placebo, to see if the drug is helpful.
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 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.
