New treatment option for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Official title Phase 3 Trial of eRapa in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06950385
What this study is testing
What is eRapa (encapsulated rapamycin)?
eRapa (encapsulated rapamycin) is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for familial adenomatous polyposis (fap).
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug eRapa works to slow down the progression of disease in patients diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). Researchers will compare eRapa to Placebo.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
