NCT ID NCT04677998
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a personalized surveillance plan for people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a condition that raises the risk of polyps and cancer in the stomach and duodenum. Participants will have endoscopic exams at intervals tailored to their polyp severity, ranging from every 3 months to every 5 years. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the chance of advanced polyps or cancer.
