About this study
Official title: Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TPST-1495 in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
This open-label phase II trial tests how well TPST-1495 works in reducing the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is an inherited condition in which numerous polyps (growths that protrude from mucous membranes) form on the inside walls of the colon and rectum. It increases the risk for colon cancer. TPST-1495 binds to specific prostaglandin receptors. TPST-1495 is a dual antagonist of the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor subtypes EP2 and EP4, while sparing the immune-stimulating EP1 and EP3 receptors. TPST-1495 may help reduce the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in patients with FAP.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To assess the activity of TPST-1495 in reducing duodenal polyp burden in patients with FAP.
II. To assess the safety of TPST-1495 in patients with FAP; we will evaluate the incidence of grade 2 or 3 adverse events.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
- The activity of TPST-1495 in reducing rectum/IPAA (ileal pouch-anal anastomosis) polyp burden in patients with FAP.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- Reduction in intestinal polyp burden as a function of immunohistochemical staining at baseline and end of intervention (6-months) of rectal and duodenal tissue samples for COX-2 expression level, beta-catenin, and Ki-67.
II. Proteomic profile of serum correlated to clinical response to therapy compared between baseline and end of intervention.
III. Biospecimen acquisition.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive TPST-1495 orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy with biopsy at baseline and end of treatment and undergo blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percent change in duodenal polyp burden
Will be determined based on the sum of diameters from all polyps. Will be assessed by comparing upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopies respectively. Will be described using a two-sided 95% confidence interval and examined for difference from zero with a one-side paired t-test.
Measured: Baseline to 6 months
Incidence of adverse events
Will examine the proportion of patients with grade 2 or 3 adverse events according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 6.0. Will be summarized as a proportion with a 1-sided 90% confidence interval.
Measured: Up to 7 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Percent change in rectal/pouch polyp burden
Will be assessed by comparing the lower GI endoscopies. Results will be presented using summary statistics and corresponding confidence intervals.
Measured: Baseline to 6 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Biopsy Procedure, Biospecimen Collection and EP2/EP4 Antagonist TPST-1495 in people with Colorectal Carcinoma and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 4 sites 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 24 inclusion and 11 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percent change in duodenal polyp burden (time frame: Baseline to 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Sep 2026.
