About this study

Official title: Diindolylmethane (DIM) Dietary Supplementation: A Nonsurgical Treatment for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN)

To determine if the use of oral Diindolylmethante (DIM), a marketed cruciferous vegetable based dietary supplement (Bioresponse-DIM), is associated with the regression of cervical dysplasia in otherwise healthy women.

Read the detailed description

To determine if the use of oral Diindolylmethane (DIM), a marketed cruciferous vegetable based dietary supplement (BioResponse-DIM®), is associated with the regression of cervical dysplasia in otherwise healthy women. Additionally, the study aims to see how the use of the BioResponse-DIM supplement correlates with cervical HPV colonization, and to asses the tolerability of daily DIM supplementation

Being tested
di indolylmethane (DIM), Red rice bran
Keywords
cervical dysplasia, diindolylmethane, pap smear

What participants receive

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

  • di indolylmethane (DIM)Drug

    This is the agent being studies. Similar agents have been reported to have potential activity.

  • Red rice branDietary supplement

    this will act as the active comparator. The sponsor provided this as the "placebo" arm since it is a filler component of their DIM capsules

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the regression of CIN in women by cytology, colposcopy, and biopsy,

    To determine if oral DIM is effective in promoting the regression of CIN in women

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. HPV colonization by commercial ELIZA test

    To correlate the response to DIM with HPV colonization

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Adverse events reported by subjects and lab abnormalities i.e. CBC and SMA20

    To assess for any adverse effects of oral DIM in women

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing di indolylmethane (DIM) and Red rice bran in people with Cervical Dysplasia, run by New York Presbyterian Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2017. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure the regression of CIN in women by cytology, colposcopy, and biopsy, (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00212381, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2017.
