Interventional trial for colorectal cancer prevention in Osaka: an introduction to the protocol

H Ishikawa et al. Jpn J Cancer Res. 1995 Aug.

Abstract

We established a protocol for an interventional randomized controlled trial for prevention of colorectal cancer by attaching special importance to feasibility. The subjects were patients with multiple colorectal tumors. Two regimens were formulated for prevention of colorectal cancer. One was dietary guidance alone (Regimen I), and the other was dietary guidance plus eating wheat bran biscuits (Regimen II). The main end points of the trial were examinations for recurrence of colorectal tumors after 2 and 4 years. The target number of patients was 200 in total, i.e. 100 for each group. During the 18 months from the beginning of recruiting of subjects (up to November 1994), 28 (97%) of the 29 patients recruited for Regimen I and 32 (97%) of the 33 patients recruited for Regimen II agreed to participate in the trial. The trial progressing well.
