About this study

Official title: S0000D: A Study of the Effect of Vitamin E and/or Selenium on Adenomatous Colorectal Polyps (ACP) in Participants Enrolled in SELECT

RATIONALE: Studying tissue samples in the laboratory from participants receiving treatment on the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) SWOG-S0000 may help doctors predict a participant's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying the effect of vitamin E and/or selenium on colorectal polyps in men enrolled on SELECT Trial SWOG-S0000.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the effect of selenium on colorectal adenoma (CRA) occurrence.
  • To assess the effect of selenium on number, location, size, histologic type, and degree of dysplasia of CRA.
  • To assess the effect of selenium on colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence.

Secondary

  • To assess the effect of vitamin E on CRA occurrence.
  • To assess the effect of vitamin E on CRC incidence.

Tertiary

  • To explore the effect modification of selenium and vitamin E by aspirin on CRA occurrence.
  • To explore the effect modification of selenium and vitamin E by body mass index.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Endoscopically obtained tissue samples are reviewed by study pathologists to confirm the presence (or absence) of a colorectal adenoma (CRA). If a CRA is present, the number, location, size, histology, and degree of dysplasia are documented. The CRA is also reviewed to exclude a diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

Additional data, including aspirin use, height and weight, date of birth, and other demographic and baseline characteristics, is also obtained. Participants' medical records are reviewed periodically.

Participants are followed annually.

    Measured: From 1 year post randomization through study completion

  3. Effect of Selenium and/or Vitamin E on Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Incidence

    Measured: From 1 year post randomization through study completion

  4. Effect of Selenium on Occurrences of Multiple (>2) Adenomas

    Measured: From 1 year post randomization through study completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Vitamin E and Selenium in people with Colorectal Cancer and Precancerous Condition, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of Selenium on Colorectal Adenoma (CRA) Occurrence, Analyzed by Active Selenium vs. Selenium Placebo (time frame: From 1 year post randomization through study completion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00706121, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Dec 2019.
