Study Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well macrogol 3350-based oral osmotic laxative (polyethylene glycol 3350) works in preventing cancer in patients at risk of colorectal cancer. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of macrogol 3350-based oral osmotic laxative may stop cancer from growing in patients who are at risk of colorectal cancer.

Primary Outcome

Evaluate the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350 (administered at 8g or 17g/day for six months) versus placebo on EGFR expression.
