About this study

Official title: The Chemopreventive Effect of Celecoxib Monotherapy Versus Combination of Celecoxib and Metformin in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: a Pilot Randomized, Open-label, Comparative Study

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) leads to adenomas and eventual adenocarcinomas in colon and less frequently, duodenum. Chemopreventive strategies have been studied in FAP patients to delay the development of adenomas and cancers. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor have shown the regression of colorectal and duodenal adenomas in FAP patients. However, these drugs showed gastrointestinal damage and cardiovascular risks, and new preventive strategies are needed. Metformin, an anti-diabetic drug, has recently been suggested to have a suppressive effect on tumorigenesis via inhibition of mTOR pathway, and have an inhibitory effect on polyp recurrence after removal of sporadic colorectal polyps. In addition, metformin has a number of potential mechnisms of carciovascular bebefit. We devised a randomized, open-label, comparative study to evaluate the effect of combination of celecoxib and metformin on polyps of colorectum and duodenum in FAP patients.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is a randomized, open-label, comparative study to evaluate the effect of combination of celecoxib and metformin on polyps of colorectum and duodenum in FAP patients. FAP patients, satisfied an enrollment criteria, will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive celecoxib monotherapy or combination of celecoxib and metformin orally for 6 months. The base-line and six-month endoscopic examination (colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy) will be recorded, and photographs will be taken at the tattoo-marked area. The number and size of polyps, and a qualitative assessment of the total extent of polyposis will be measured.

Being tested
celecoxib monotherapy, celecoxib and metformin combination

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • celecoxib monotherapyDrug

    Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive celecoxib monotherapy or combination of celecoxib and metformin orally for 6 months: celecoxib [400mg, twice a day] in arm 1, celecoxib [400mg, twice a day] and metformin [1g, twice a day] in arm 2.

  • celecoxib and metformin combinationDrug

    Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive celecoxib monotherapy or combination of celecoxib and metformin orally for 6 months: celecoxib [400mg, twice a day] in arm 1, celecoxib [400mg, twice a day] and metformin [1g, twice a day] in arm 2.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean percentage change of the number and size of polyps in colon and/or duodenum.

    At the base-line endoscopy (colonoscopy and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy), india-ink tattoo will be placed in the ascending colon, sigmoid colon/rectum, and duodenum. In case of patient with retained rectum after colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis, sigmoidoscopy will be peformed. The base-line and six-month endoscopic examination will be recorded, and photographs will be taken at the tattoo-marked area and used for measurements of the number and size of polyps. The diameter of a polyp will be measured with the aid of biopsy forceps included in the photographic field, and only distinct polyps at least 2 mm in diameter will be counted.

    Measured: After six-month administration of celecoxib monotherapy or combination of celecoxib and metformin

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. A qualitative assessment of the total extent of colorectal and duodenal polyposis

    A qualitative assessment of the total extent of colorectal polyposis will be conducted via video review(at base line and month 6) by two endoscopists experienced in the management of FAP, and scored as the same as, better than, or worse than base-line endoscopic findings, without the endoscopists' being aware of treatment group.

    Measured: After six-month administration of celecoxib monotherapy or combination of celecoxib and metformin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing celecoxib monotherapy and celecoxib and metformin combination in people with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2024. 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 South Korea. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean percentage change of the number and size of polyps in colon and/or duodenum. (time frame: After six-month administration of celecoxib monotherapy or combination of celecoxib and metformin). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Aug 2024.
