Safety of curcumin for anal precancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a curcumin (turmeric) suppository can safely treat anal precancerous changes called AIN 2 or AIN 3. It may be an option if you have high-grade cell changes and want to avoid more invasive treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 years old or older.
- You have a biopsy-confirmed anal precancer (AIN 2 or AIN 3) that hasn't been treated yet, or a Pap-like test showing high-grade cell changes (ASC-H or HSIL).
- You are willing to fill out a daily study diary.
- You do not have a serious chronic illness that is getting worse (like heart disease, severe lung disease, or uncontrolled diabetes).
- You have never had anal cancer, and you are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the next 3 months.
- You are not currently using or have not used intravenous drugs (except for medical reasons) or had alcohol abuse in the past year.

This trial tests an artesunate ointment to treat high-grade anal precancer (HSIL) in people who do not have HIV. The goal is to see if the ointment can clear the abnormal cells caused by HPV.
This study tests a topical gel made from curcumin (a compound in turmeric) to see if it can help clear abnormal cervical cells caused by HPV. It may be an option for women with low-grade changes or who have recently had high-grade changes treated.
This study tests if a probiotic called EXE-346 can help clear anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), a precancerous condition, in people with HIV who are on effective antiretroviral therapy. If you have anal HSIL that wasn't fully removed by biopsy, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding a natural compound called curcumin to standard chemotherapy and radiation before rectal cancer surgery can help shrink the tumor more effectively. It aims to improve outcomes and includes careful monitoring of tumor tissue to understand how the treatment works.
This trial tests whether a curcumin (turmeric) supplement can help women with advanced cervical cancer who are about to start standard treatment with chemotherapy and radiation. It aims to see if adding curcumin improves outcomes.
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1 antibody) for anal squamous cell cancer. The trial enrolls patients at different stages of disease to see if adding immunotherapy improves outcomes.
