Study summary

To determine if the use of oral Diindolylmethante (DIM), a marketed cruciferous vegetable based dietary supplement (Bioresponse-DIM), is associated with the regression of cervical dysplasia in otherwise healthy women.

Read the detailed description

To determine if the use of oral Diindolylmethane (DIM), a marketed cruciferous vegetable based dietary supplement (BioResponse-DIM®), is associated with the regression of cervical dysplasia in otherwise healthy women. Additionally, the study aims to see how the use of the BioResponse-DIM supplement correlates with cervical HPV colonization, and to asses the tolerability of daily DIM supplementation

Study arms

  • Experimental
    oral DIM (Active agent)

    2mg/kg/day po of DIM

    Drug: di indolylmethane (DIM)

  • Active comparator
    Red rice bran (Placebo)

    this agent is not generally thought to be active but may be

    Dietary Supplement: Red rice bran

Interventions

  • Drugdi indolylmethane (DIM)

    This is the agent being studies. Similar agents have been reported to have potential activity.

  • Dietary supplementRed rice bran

    this will act as the active comparator. The sponsor provided this as the "placebo" arm since it is a filler component of their DIM capsules

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Measure the regression of CIN in women by cytology, colposcopy, and biopsy,

    To determine if oral DIM is effective in promoting the regression of CIN in women

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. HPV colonization by commercial ELIZA test

    To correlate the response to DIM with HPV colonization

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. Adverse events reported by subjects and lab abnormalities i.e. CBC and SMA20

    To assess for any adverse effects of oral DIM in women

    Time frame: one year
