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 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 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.
