Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Cervical Dysplasia
Interventions
Drug: di indolylmethane (DIM)
Dietary Supplement: Red rice bran
Registration Number
NCT00212381
Lead Sponsor
New York Presbyterian Hospital
Brief 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.

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
