BHB supplement study for familial adenomatous polyposis
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a supplement called beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) can help prevent polyps in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a condition that causes many polyps in the colon. The study has two parts: one for people who have already had colon surgery, and another for those who still have their colon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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.
This trial tests whether a combination of two drugs, celecoxib and metformin, can prevent the growth of polyps in the colon or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is a condition that causes many polyps to form, raising the risk of cancer. If you have FAP, are between 20 and 55, and have at least 5 polyps that are 2mm or larger, this study may be for you.
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 the drug rapamycin to see if it can help prevent polyps from growing in children aged 12 to 17 with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The goal is to find out if it can reduce the number or size of polyps, which may lower the risk of needing surgery.
