Can a probiotic prevent polyp regrowth after colonoscopy?
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You had a colonoscopy that removed all visible colon polyps (adenomas), confirmed by lab results.
- The bowel preparation for your colonoscopy was good (Boston score 7 or more).

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 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 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.
This study tests whether a diet education program can change the balance of gut bacteria and bile acids to lower the risk of colorectal cancer in people who have had polyps removed.
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 follows people who have had stomach or intestinal polyps removed during an endoscopy to see how often new polyps grow back. It helps doctors learn better ways to monitor and prevent recurrence.
