Abstract

Berberine has been reported as a safe and effective pharmacological agent to reduce colorectal adenoma recurrence after polypectomy. This retrospective cohort study is an extended follow-up of a previous clinical trial (NCT02226185) during the post-treatment observational phase. We aim to evaluate the long-term protective effects of berberine on adenoma recurrence. Among 895 patients who finished the previous 2-year randomized trial, we recruited 781 patients at 7 clinical centers across 6 provinces in China. The primary outcome is adenoma recurrence. Between December 29, 2018, and October 10, 2024, 648 patients underwent at least one colonoscopy during the follow-up. The protective effects of berberine persist for at least 6 years after treatment cessation, with lower adenoma recurrence rate (34.7% vs. 52.1%) and lower neoplasm occurrence rate (63.4% vs. 71.0%). Berberine may serve as a potential long-term preventive agent against adenoma recurrence after polypectomy.

小檗碱预防结直肠腺瘤复发和肿瘤发生：一项6年随访的随机临床试验。

小檗碱是一种安全有效的减少息肉切除术后结直肠腺瘤复发的药物。这项回顾性队列研究是对先前临床试验（NCT02226185）在治疗后观察期的扩展随访。我们的目的是评估小檗碱对腺瘤复发的长期保护作用。在完成前2年随机试验的895名患者中，我们在中国6个省的7个临床中心招募了781名患者。主要结果是腺瘤复发。在2018年12月29日至2024年10月10日期间，648名患者在随访期间至少接受了一次结肠镜检查。小檗碱的保护作用在停止治疗后至少持续6年，腺瘤复发率较低（34.7%比52.1%），肿瘤发生率较低（63.4%比71.0%）。小檗碱可能作为一种潜在的长期预防息肉切除术后腺瘤复发的药物。

期刊介绍： Cell Reports Medicine is an esteemed open-access journal by Cell Press that publishes groundbreaking research in translational and clinical biomedical sciences, influencing human health and medicine. Our journal ensures wide visibility and accessibility, reaching scientists and clinicians across various medical disciplines. We publish original research that spans from intriguing human biology concepts to all aspects of clinical work. We encourage submissions that introduce innovative ideas, forging new paths in clinical research and practice. We also welcome studies that provide vital information, enhancing our understanding of current standards of care in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This encompasses translational studies, clinical trials (including long-term follow-ups), genomics, biomarker discovery, and technological advancements that contribute to diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare. Additionally, studies based on vertebrate model organisms are within the scope of the journal, as long as they directly relate to human health and disease.
