Arms of the Study

Arm 2
Experimental
Placebo Comparator
Active Treatment (calcitriol+ASA+CaCO3)
Placebo to calcitriol+ASA+CaCO3
Daily dose of 0.5 mg calcitriol (1a -25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, Rocaltrol; Roche, Basel, Switzerland), 75 mg acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), and 1250 mg calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The daily dose was administered as 1 capsule containing 0.5 mg calcitriol (Rocaltrol; Roche) and 2 tablets containing a 37.5-mg ASA core with a 625-mg calcium carbonate shell (tablet-in-tablet) that was made expressly for this study. Patients should take 1 capsule and 2 tablets daily, together or separately. Timing of the intake is not important; study medication can be taken with or without food. The daily dose should not be exceeded. Before randomization, patients were given the placebo and followed up for a 3-week run-in period. Only patients who showed a placebo medication compliance rate of at least 80% were eligible for randomization. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with recurrence of any adenomas as detected by colonoscopy after 3 years of treatment.
