Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The prevention of recurrence after colorectal adenoma resection remains an urgent medical issue to be addressed. Previous studies have mainly focused on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, calcium supplements, and vitamins. The gut microbiota and its metabolic products are believed to play a potential role in the development and progression of colorectal adenomas. Clostridium butyricum, a butyrate-producing probiotic, has not yet been studied for its potential in preventing the recurrence of colorectal adenomas following resection. Therefore, this study, designed as a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial, aims to explore evidence-based data on the role of Clostridium butyricum in preventing colorectal adenoma recurrence.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Statistical Analysis Plan

Full Analysis Set (FAS):

Defined as all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of the assigned intervention and had at least one scheduled colonoscopy follow-up record.

Per Protocol Set (PPS):

Defined as subjects in the Clostridium butyricum group who received at least 80% of the total prescribed intervention, underwent at least two scheduled colonoscopy follow-ups, and did not use any prohibited medications specified in the protocol.

Safety Set (SS):

Defined as all subjects who received at least one dose of the intervention and had at least one safety assessment.

Primary Outcome Analysis The 3-year recurrence rate of adenomas will be analyzed using the chi-square (χ²) test.

Secondary Outcome Analysis For normally distributed continuous variables: independent-samples t-test. For skewed continuous variables and ordinal data: Mann-Whitney U test. For unordered categorical data: chi-square (χ²) test or Fisher's exact test. For repeated measures data: repeated measures ANOVA or Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE).
