Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ancillary Study of Methylation Biomarkers in a Randomized Controlled Trial of a Personalized Prevention of Colorectal Cancer (NCT NCT04196803)

NCT ID: NCT04196803

Last Updated: 2024-06-25

Results Overview

Increases in 5-mC methylation at cg16371860 (the promoter) indicate a hindered process of transcription initiation and, subsequently, lower levels of TMPRSS2 expression. 5-mC methylation changes=value at 12 weeks minus value at baseline.

Participant Flow

Participants, aged 40-85 y, with colorectal polyp or polyp-free individuals with high risk of colorectal cancer and had a calcium intake of ≥700 and \<2000 mg/d, and their calcium-to-magnesium intake ratio was \>2.6 (based on baseline two 24-hour dietary recalls) and have blood samples were recruited from Vanderbilt patient sources from March 11, 2011 to Jan 30, 2016 .
