An Investigational Drug (TPST-1495) in Patients With Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
What this study is about
This where both patients and doctors know the treatment given phase II trial tests how well TPST-1495 works in reducing the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is an inherited condition in which numerous polyps (growths that protrude from mucous membranes) form on the inside walls of the colon and rectum.
View original scientific description
This open-label phase II trial tests how well TPST-1495 works in reducing the number of polyps in the small bowel and colon in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is an inherited condition in which numerous polyps (growths that protrude from mucous membranes) form on the inside walls of the colon and rectum. It increases the risk for colon cancer. TPST-1495 binds to specific prostaglandin receptors.

Ancillary studies
Primary outcome measures
Percent change in duodenal polyp burden
Time frame: Baseline to 6 months
Will be determined based on the sum of diameters from all polyps. Will be assessed by comparing upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopies respectively. Will be described using a two-sided 95% confidence interval and examined for difference from zero with a one-side paired t-test.
Incidence of adverse events
Time frame: Up to 7 months
Will examine the proportion of patients with grade 2 or 3 adverse events according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 6.0. Will be summarized as a proportion with a 1-sided 90% confidence interval.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), defined as at least one of the following:
- Genetic diagnosis with confirmed APC mutation (clinical CLIA \[clinical laboratory improvement amendments\] certified lab or research testing)
- Obligate carrier
- Clinical diagnosis of classic FAP with ≥ 100 colorectal adenomas status post colectomy or a sub-total colectomy and a family history of FAP
- Clinical diagnosis of FAP, based on personal and family history. Note: This criterion requires documented review and agreement from either the study chair or the MW consortium lead investigator
- Previously underwent prophylactic colectomy or sub-total colectomy with IRA (ileo-rectal or ileo-colonic anastomosis) or IPAA at least 12 months before pre-registration evaluation and without ongoing surgical complication
- Willing to discontinue taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) 5 days prior to initiation of study treatment and limit frequency of NSAID dosing during study treatment
- Age ≥ 18. Because no dosing or adverse event (AE) data are currently available on the use of TPST-1495 in participants \< 18 years of age, children and adolescents are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric trials, if applicable
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)
- Leukocytes (white blood count \[WBC\]) ≥ 3,000/uL (≥ 2,500/uL for African American participants)
- Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L
- Hemoglobin ≥ 11.5 g/dL
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit normal (ULN) (unless patient has Gilbert's)
- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 1.5 x institutional ULN
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) ≤ 2 x institutional ULN
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) ≤ 2 x institutional ULN
- Creatinine ≤ institutional ULN
- Urinary testing results within institutional limits of normal or deemed clinically insignificant
- Individuals on chronic suppressive antiviral therapy for herpes simplex virus (HSV) are eligible
- Presence of Spigelman 2 or 3 duodenal polyposis stage assessed by endoscopy
- Not pregnant: The effects of TPST-1495 on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation or for 90 days after stopping study agent. Additionally, men should not donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction during the study and for a minimum of 90 days after receiving the last dose of study agent. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her study physician immediately
- Not currently breastfeeding
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
- Helicobacter (H.) pylori negative confirmed with gastric biopsy (at time of screening EGD). If positive for H. pylori the patient can be offered full course of approved therapy with confirmation of eradication and re-assessment for trial participation with likely need to repeat baseline endoscopies if \> 45 days since date of baseline procedures
Exclusion criteria
- Use of any other investigational agents ≤ 12 weeks prior to pre-registration
- History of gastric or intestinal ulceration due to NSAID therapy
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or recent surgical procedure that in the opinion of the investigative team would limit compliance with study requirements
- History of invasive malignancy ≤ 3 years prior to pre-registration (exception: adequately treated carcinoma of the cervix, carcinoma in situ, or basal or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin)
- History of any upper GI surgery that does not permit access to or evaluation of a 10 cm segment of the duodenum that includes the duodenal bulb, i.e. Whipple procedure or similar
- Any histologically confirmed high grade dysplasia (HGD) or cancer, gastrointestinal bleeding and requirement for anticoagulation therapy after study start except for use of low dose aspirin
- Individuals with evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection will be excluded from the study even if the HIV viral load is undetectable on suppressive therapy. Many of the HIV suppression anti-viral medications are moderate/strong inhibitors of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 and are exclusions based on above
- Individuals with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or C virus (HCV) infection will be excluded from the study, even if the HBV/HCV viral load is undetectable on suppressive therapy. Many of the HBV/HCV suppression anti-viral medications are moderate/strong inhibitors of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 and are exclusions based on above
- Individuals with active H. pylori infection that is untreated or refractory to standard antibiotic therapy
- Patients with prior history of peptic ulcers complicated by bleeding, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification II-IV, active autoimmune diseases, on anticoagulants at risk of bleeding or abnormal corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation will also be excluded. Patients enrolled in this trial are status post colectomy or subtotal colectomy (with either IPAA or IRA or ileo-colonic anastomosis) and thus would not be expected to be at significant risk of diverticulitis

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
