Investigation of β-hydroxybutyrate Supplementation as Chemoprevention in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Обзор

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of BHB supplementation as a novel strategy to impede the development and progression of intestinal adenomas in individuals with FAP, thus potentially reducing the need for frequent upper endoscopies and colonoscopies and preventing the need for risk-reducing surgical intervention.

Подробное описание

We plan to undertake both an initial absorption study (Part A) in up to 9 individuals with FAP followed by a longitudinal open-label study (Part B) in up to 20 individuals with FAP, who will receive R-1,3-butanediol (HVMN Ketone-IQ), an orally administered BHB precursor. Participants with FAP in Part A will have a blood sample collected and then take R-1,3-butanediol at one of three different doses for 2 weeks, which will be followed by another blood sample collection. In Part B, participants with FAP will undergo colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy along with an upper endoscopy and will then receive R-1,3-butanediol. The participants will return at 4 weeks and 8 weeks for a blood draw and at that time will also provide a stool sample, and participants will check their ketone levels at home weekly. After 12 weeks of R-1,3-butanediol consumption, an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy will be performed, which will be the same as the procedure performed on study entry. At this point participants can be finished with the study, or they may have the option of continuing BHB for another 12 weeks in an extension study, followed by a repeat upper endoscopy and colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy at 24 weeks.

• Пищевая добавка R-1,3-Butanediol (30G-B)
  Study participants will take one 35mL dose of HVMN Ketone-IQ by mouth three times per day (30 total grams of R-1,3-Butanediol) for 12 weeks, with a possible additional 12 week extension
