Herbal granules to prevent return of low-risk colon polyps
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal medicine (Shenbai granules) can help stop low-risk colon polyps from coming back after they've been removed. If you've had these polyps taken out, this treatment may offer a way to reduce the chance of new ones growing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You have had all colon polyps (small growths) completely removed during a colonoscopy.
- The colonoscopy was a thorough, high-quality exam, as confirmed by your doctor.
- You have a diagnosis (from traditional Chinese medicine) of 'spleen deficiency with dampness-heat' — your doctor can help determine if this applies to you.
- You have not had cancer (except certain early or cured types) and do not have conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease).

This trial tests a Chinese herbal medicine called Shenbai Granules to see if it can prevent high-risk colon polyps from turning into cancer. If you have had such a polyp removed and fit the traditional Chinese medicine pattern, you may be able to join.
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 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 whether taking a probiotic called Clostridium Butyricum after colon polyp removal can lower the chance of polyps coming back. It is looking for people who had adenomas removed and are not already taking certain supplements or antibiotics.
This study tests whether taking capsules of healthy bacteria (fecal microbiota transplant) can help prevent colon polyps from coming back after they have been removed. It might be an option for people who have had an adenoma polyp removed and want to reduce the chance of recurrence.
This study aims to develop a tool using gut bacteria and metabolites to predict if high-risk colon polyps will come back after removal. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had certain types of colon polyps removed, you may be able to help us build better prediction methods.
