Active Treatment (calcitriol+ASA+CaCO3)

Placebo to calcitriol+ASA+CaCO3

Arm Description

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Assessment of cumulative frequency of recurrence of colorectal adenomas post ablation
The purpose of the study is to investigate if long-term treatment with three known drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, 1α 25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol, and calcium carbonate) prevents recurrence of colorectal adenomas which were removed during colonoscopy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Assessment of number and size of colorectal adenomas measured after three years of chemoprevention using the study drug
The purpose of the study is to investigate if long-term treatment with three known drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, 1α 25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol, and calcium carbonate) prevents recurrence of colorectal adenomas which were removed during colonoscopy.
Assessment of durability of polyp-free colon post surgical ablation for two years post-treatment with chemoprevention with study drug
The purpose of the study is to investigate if long-term treatment with three known drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, 1α 25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol, and calcium carbonate) prevents recurrence of colorectal adenomas which were removed during colonoscopy.

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate if long-term treatment with three known drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, 1α 25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol, and calcium carbonate) prevents recurrence of colorectal adenomas.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, randomized, parallel group, prospective, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of chemoprevention in patients at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). The Colotech combination treatment (acetylsalicylic acid, 1α 25-dihydroxy cholecalciferol, and calcium carbonate) will be compared to placebo with regards to safety and efficacy during 3 years of treatment. The randomized treatment period will be preceded by a 3-week single blind placebo run-in period, which will assess patient's compliance to treatment. In order to collect data on the durability of treatment effect, follow-up data from a surveillance colonoscopy will be collected two years after the 3-year colonoscopy.
