Celecoxib to prevent polyps from growing in Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing if the medication celecoxib can stop or slow the growth of polyps in people with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS). It may help reduce the need for surgery and lower the risk of complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine herbal granule (called Jianpi Lishi Jiedu) can help prevent polyps from coming back after you've had an advanced colon polyp removed. If you qualify, you would take the granules after your procedure and be monitored for recurrence.
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 study tests whether an oral synbiotic (a probiotic plus a prebiotic) can reduce the chance that advanced colon growths come back after they were removed. It also looks at changes in stool-related bacterial “gene markers” that may signal lower risk over time.
This trial tests a new drug called JP-1366 to see if it can prevent stomach ulcers caused by long-term NSAID use (like ibuprofen or naproxen) for conditions such as arthritis. It may be a good fit if you need to take NSAIDs for at least 24 weeks and have a higher risk of ulcers.
This trial tests whether mesalamine, a medicine used for bowel inflammation, can help prevent colorectal cancer in people with Lynch syndrome who do not currently have cancer. It may help by lowering the chance that new pre-cancer growths form over time.
This study compares two safe methods for removing small, non-cancerous colon growths called sessile serrated lesions. It aims to see which method is more effective and has fewer complications.
