Public title
Effect of topical mesalazine over adenomas incidence in rectal stumps and ileal pouches of familial adenomatous polyposis patients submitted to colectomy.
Scientific title
In familial adenomatous polyposis patients submitted to total colectomy or proctocolectomy, will the use of 1g per day of mesalazine, as rectal foam, uncontrolled, reduce the incidence of new adenomas in the rectal stumps or ileal pouches?

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 286133 0
New adenomas (larger than 5mm) incidence in the rectal stumps or ileal pouches, as assessed by endoscopy
Timepoint [1] 286133 0
At study entry and six and twelve months after mesalazine use
Secondary outcome [1] 295213 0
Dimension, morfology and grade of dysplasia of new adenomas.
Endoscopy will be performed every six months and all polyps larger than 5mm will be removed. Polyp (including adenomas) dimension will be assessed by endoscopy. All polyps will be sent for pathological examination and the morfology and grade of dysplasia of adenomas will be assessed according to the WHO classification.
Timepoint [1] 295213 0
At study entry and six and twelve months after mesalazine use
Secondary outcome [2] 295214 0
Proliferation index of the rectal stump or ileal pouch mucosa.
At each endoscopy, two mucosal biopsies will be performed at each quadrant of the rectal stump or ileal pouch. Proliferation index of the mucosa will be assessed by immunohistochemistry.
Timepoint [2] 295214 0
At study entry and six and twelve months after mesalazine use
Secondary outcome [3] 295215 0
Nuclear concentration of beta-catenin in colonocytes or enterocytes.
At each endoscopy, two mucosal biopsies will be performed at each quadrant of the rectal stump or ileal pouch. Nuclear concentration of beta-catenin in colonocytes or enterocytes will be assessed by immunohistochemistry.
Timepoint [3] 295215 0

Summary
Brief summary
In patients with genetically confirmed diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis, and adenomas of the rectal stump or ileal pouch found during surveillance after colectomy, we hypothesized that topical mesalazine may reduce the incidence of new adenomas.
