Clinical Trial: Ursodesoxycholic Acid in the Treatment of Duodenal Adenomas in FAP Patients.

This study is currently recruiting patients.
Verified by Hospital of Paris August 2004

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00134758

Purpose

Malignant transformation of adenomas of the duodenum is now the first cause of death in Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients that had a restorative proctocolectomy. Ursodesoxycholic acid (UDCA) modifies the biliary acid profil and could reduce the severity of duodenal adenomas and prevent such transformation.

Official Title: Efficiency of Ursodesoxycholic Acid in the Treatment of Duodenal Adenomas in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Patients. URSOPAF

Further Study Details: 
Primary Outcomes: Spigelman severity score of duodenal lesion after 2 years of follow-up.
Secondary Outcomes: Cellular proliferation (Ki 67 and PCNA).; Biliary acid profil.; Compliance to the treatment.
Expected Total Enrollment:  100

Study start: October 2004;  Expected completion: December 2008
Last follow-up: October 2008;  Data entry closure: November 2008

We designed a randomized double blinded study to evaluate the efficiency of UDCA in the treatment of this duodenal adenomas. One hundred patients are planned to be included. Fifty will receive UDCA and fifty a placebo. Three duodenoscopies are planned ; one before inclusion, one at the end of the first year of follow-up and one after two years of follow-up at the end of the protocol. These duodenoscopies are associated to endoscopies of the ileal reservoir performed at the time of restorative proctocolectomy and are recorded numerically. Severity of the duodenal adenomas are evaluated according to the Spigelman score. Patients are seen every 6 months. Before each endoscopies, blood samples are collected for biliary acid profil analysis. Moreover, during endoscopies, duodenal fluid and ileal fluid are collected for biliary acid profil analysis, also.

At the end of the follow-up of the last patients included (nov 2008), biliary acid profil analysis will be performed and statistical analysis of the results will be perform.
