Summary
This is a 36 week dietary intervention pilot study to evaluate the effects of lyophilized
black raspberries on rectal polyp burden and biomarkers in subjects with FAP. Subjects will
undergo a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy before study treatment to determine eligibility for
the study. Eligible participants will undergo a sigmoidoscopy at 36 weeks after the
initiation of study treatment. The size and number of rectal polyps will be documented on a
code sheet and by photograph. The efficacy outcome will include the percentage reduction in
the number of rectal polyps between baseline and 36 weeks.
