Official title: Clostridium Butyricum MIYAIRI 588 Reduces Colorectal Adenomatous Polyp Recurrence: A Randomized Crossover Trial

The goal of this randomized crossover clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM588) in reducing colorectal adenomatous polyp recurrence in adult patients with a history of colorectal polyps.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does CBM588 reduce the recurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps?
  • Does CBM588 lead to a sustained decrease in polyp burden over time? Researchers will compare a group receiving CBM588 in the first year to a group receiving CBM588 in the second year (after a washout period) to determine whether CBM588 effectively lowers polyp recurrence rates and adenoma prevalence.
Read the detailed description

This randomized crossover clinical trial evaluates the effect of Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM588), a butyrate-producing probiotic, on colorectal adenomatous polyp recurrence. Participants who had undergone complete polypectomy were randomly assigned into two groups:

  • Group A: Received CBM588 for one year, followed by a washout period and no treatment in the second year.
  • Group B: Did not receive CBM588 in the first year but received it in the second year after a washout period.

Annual colonoscopy assessments were conducted to evaluate polyp count, type, and location. The primary outcome measure is adenoma recurrence. This study was conducted at a tertiary medical center and received Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval (KMUHIRB-F(I)-20170010). All participants provided informed consent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Colorectal polyp recurrence rate (%)

    The percentage of participants with at least one recurrent colorectal polyp detected during follow-up colonoscopy. Recurrence is defined as the presence of new polyps (adenomatous or non-adenomatous) identified on annual surveillance colonoscopy.

    Measured: 1 year and 2.25 years after baseline colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Adenomatous polyp recurrence rate (%)

    The percentage of participants with at least one recurrent adenomatous polyp detected during follow-up colonoscopy.

    Measured: 1 year and 2.25 years after baseline colonoscopy

  2. Mean number of recurrent polyps

    The average number of polyps detected per participant during follow-up colonoscopy.

    Measured: 1 year and 2.25 years after baseline colonoscopy

  3. Polyp location distribution

    The proportion of recurrent polyps found in different segments of the colon (right colon, left colon, rectum).

    Measured: 1 year and 2.25 years after baseline colonoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 in people with Colorectal Polyp, run by Kaohsiung Medical University at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2025. 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 Taiwan. 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.

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?

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?

Colorectal polyp recurrence rate (%) (time frame: 1 year and 2.25 years after baseline colonoscopy). 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 16 May 2025.
