Antioxidant Supplement and Reduction of Metachronous Adenomas of the Large Bowel: a Double Blind Randomized Trial

Colorectal Adenomas Clinical Trial

Official title:
Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Combination of Micronutrients (Vitamin A, C, E, Selenium and Zinc) in Reducing the Incidence of Colorectal Metachronous Adenomas. A Double Blind, Phase III, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

The trial was aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a multiagent antioxidant compound (vitamin A, C, E, selenium and zinc) in reducing the incidence of metachronous adenomas of the large bowel after endoscopic polypectomy. This is a randomized study: a 50% reduction in the incidence of metachronous adenomas was expected in patients allocated to the "active" compound (intervention) arm as compared to those assigned to a placebo.

Clinical Trial Description

Adenomatous polyps (or adenoma) are benign lesions of the large bowel that are frequent in people aged 60 or more: about one in four of them has at least one adenoma. In time, adenoma could progress to cancer. Even though only a small rate of adenomas will develop into cancer almost 70-80% of colorectal cancer origin from an adenoma and colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent malignant tumors in the western world. Several epidemiological studies showed that subjects who had low intake and/or low blood levels of selenium were at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. ;
