Summary

This early-stage trial tests the safety of a drug called ONC201 (dordaviprone) in 36 people with a high risk of colorectal cancer due to familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or a history of many polyps. The drug aims to kill precancerous cells without harming normal tissue. If safe and effective, it could become a new option to prevent colorectal cancer.
