Abstract

Background and Methods

Laboratory, clinical, and epidemiologic evidence suggests that calcium may help prevent colorectal adenomas. We conducted a randomized, double-blind trial of the effect of supplementation with calcium carbonate on the recurrence of colorectal adenomas. We randomly assigned 930 subjects (mean age, 61 years; 72 percent men) with a recent history of colorectal adenomas to receive either calcium carbonate (3 g [1200 mg of elemental calcium] daily) or placebo, with follow-up colonoscopies one and four years after the qualifying examination. The primary end point was the proportion of subjects in whom at least one adenoma was detected after the first follow-up endoscopy but up to (and including) the second follow-up examination. Risk ratios for the recurrence of adenomas were adjusted for age, sex, lifetime number of adenomas before the study, clinical center, and length of the surveillance period.

Results

The subjects in the calcium group had a lower risk of recurrent adenomas. Among the 913 subjects who underwent at least one study colonoscopy, the adjusted risk ratio for any recurrence of adenoma with calcium as compared with placebo was 0.85 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.74 to 0.98; P=0.03). The main analysis was based on the 832 subjects (409 in the calcium group and 423 in the placebo group) who completed both follow-up examinations. At least one adenoma was diagnosed between the first and second follow-up endoscopies in 127 subjects in the calcium group (31 percent) and 159 subjects in the placebo group (38 percent); the adjusted risk ratio was 0.81 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.67 to 0.99; P=0.04). The adjusted ratio of the average number of adenomas in the calcium group to that in the placebo group was 0.76 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.60 to 0.96; P=0.02). The effect of calcium was independent of initial dietary fat and calcium intake.

Conclusions

Calcium supplementation is associated with a significant — though moderate — reduction in the risk of recurrent colorectal adenomas.

Dietary patterns have repeatedly been associated with the risk of colorectal neoplasia: a diet rich in vegetables and fruits is associated with a lower risk, whereas intake of animal fat and red meat seems to increase risk.1 The underlying mechanisms are not clear, but the changes in risk may in part be due to alterations in bile acids, which are carcinogenic in animal models.2

Newmark and colleagues3 proposed that calcium binds bile acids in the bowel lumen, inhibiting their proliferative and carcinogenic effects. In support of this hypothesis, studies in animals have indicated a protective effect of dietary calcium on bile-induced mucosal damage and experimental bowel carcinogenesis.4,5 However, the results of epidemiologic research have been inconsistent; in some studies a decreased risk of colorectal cancer was associated with calcium intake, whereas in others no association was found.6,7 Mixed results have also been reported regarding large-bowel adenomas,6,7 which are likely precursors of most colorectal cancers.8

To clarify the effect of calcium intake on colorectal carcinogenesis, we conducted a clinical study of the effect of supplementation with calcium carbonate on the risk of recurrence of colorectal adenomas. We hypothesized that subjects randomly assigned to receive calcium would have a reduced risk of recurrent adenomas as well as reduced numbers of adenomas.

Methods

The Calcium Polyp Prevention Study involved six clinical centers: the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center, the University of Southern California–Southern California Permanente Medical Group, the University of Iowa, the University of Minnesota, and the University of North Carolina. Dartmouth was the coordinating center, and the University of Minnesota was the pathology center. Human-subjects committees at each center approved the study protocol; an independent data and safety monitoring committee reviewed the study twice a year.

Recruitment and Randomization

Staff at each clinical center monitored colonoscopy and pathology records at associated endoscopy units to identify subjects who had at least one histologically confirmed large-bowel adenoma removed within three months before recruitment and whose entire large-bowel mucosa was subsequently examined and judged free of polyps. Eligible subjects were less than 80 years old, in good health, and without a history of familial polyposis, invasive large-bowel cancer, malabsorption syndromes, or any condition that might be worsened by supplemental calcium. Our goal was for 860 subjects to undergo randomization in order for the study to have 80 percent power to detect a 25 percent reduction in the recurrence of adenomas.

We reviewed data on 2918 apparently eligible subjects. We were unable to contact 223, 1066 declined to participate, 510 were found to be ineligible, and 1 did not enroll for unknown reasons. After written informed consent had been obtained, the remaining 1118 subjects began a three-month placebo run-in period to assess their adherence to the study regimen of one tablet twice a day with meals. At the end of the run-in period, 930 subjects had taken at least 80 percent of their prescribed tablets, wished to continue the study, and were considered appropriate for randomization. We assigned these subjects to calcium or placebo using computer-generated random numbers, blocked according to study center. The study tablets contained a total of 3 g of calcium carbonate (1200 mg of elemental calcium) or an identical-appearing cellulose–sucrose placebo. The trial was double-blind: neither subjects nor study staff were aware of the treatment assignments.

Study Protocol

The subjects underwent two follow-up colonoscopies as part of their routine clinical care, usually by the same physician who had conducted the initial examination. The first follow-up examination was planned for approximately 1 year after the qualifying colonoscopy (about 9 months after randomization), and the second follow-up examination was planned for 36 months after that. Large-bowel endoscopy was otherwise discouraged unless clinically indicated (e.g., for rectal bleeding). Follow-up examinations were considered adequate if the entire large-bowel mucosa was visualized and no polyps remained at the end of the procedure. We designated the time from randomization to the first follow-up examination as the first study interval, and the period following the first follow-up examination and through the second as the second study interval (the main risk period).

At each colonoscopy, the endoscopist recorded the size and location of all mucosal lesions, using standard clinical technique. According to the protocol, all polyps were removed and examined histologically at the clinical center and by the study pathologist, who classified the polyps as neoplastic (adenomas) or non-neoplastic (e.g., hyperplastic polyps or lymphoid follicles). The study pathologist also reviewed polyps detected by the qualifying endoscopic examination for a sample of 25 percent of the subjects. The study pathologist and the clinical center agreed as to presence or absence of neoplasia in 2349 of the 2541 specimens reviewed (92 percent). In cases of disagreement, we accepted the study pathologist's diagnosis.

At enrollment and at the time of each of the two follow-up colonoscopies, we obtained specimens of venous blood in mineral-free tubes. Serum was initially stored at –20°C or below, pending shipment to Dartmouth for storage at –70°C until analysis. At enrollment and at the end of the study, we also assessed the subjects' diet with a validated food-frequency questionnaire.9 Every six months, we sent questionnaires to the subjects regarding their adherence to study treatment; their use of medications, over-the-counter drugs, and nutritional supplements; and the occurrence of symptoms, illnesses, and hospitalizations. Recruitment began in November 1988 and ended in April 1992. Follow-up ended in December 1996.

End Points

The primary outcome measure was the proportion of subjects in whom at least one adenoma was detected during the second study interval — that is, after the first follow-up colonoscopy, up to and including the second follow-up examination (including adenomas detected during interim endoscopies). This end point provided for the removal of adenomas overlooked at the qualifying colonoscopy (thus minimizing the numbers of polyps present at the start of the main risk period) and allowed for a latent period of calcium action. If a subject did not undergo the follow-up examinations as planned, we used the two clinically indicated colonoscopies at least one year apart that provided the longest follow-up interval.

Statistical Analysis

For our statistical analyses, we compared proportions using Fisher's exact test and measured data using t-tests or rank tests.10 Our main analysis considered two related outcomes: whether subjects in the two treatment groups had different probabilities of having at least one adenoma, and whether the average numbers of adenomas in the two groups differed. To address the first question, we used overdispersed log-linear quasi-likelihood models programmed in SPlus (MathSoft, Seattle) to provide unadjusted and adjusted estimates and confidence intervals for the relative risk of at least one recurrent adenoma.11 Similar models (with variance proportional to the mean) were used to analyze the ratios of the average number of adenomas in the two treatment groups.11

Covariates included age (as a linear term), sex, the lifetime number of adenomas before study entry, clinical center, and the length of the surveillance period. Possible interactions were considered with the use of product interaction terms. Subgroup analyses included investigation of subjects whose diets were above and below the median for the calorie-adjusted intake12 of selected nutrients. To assess possible distortions introduced by subjects who did not complete the study, we also performed sensitivity analyses by imputing patterns of recurrence for these subjects to determine outcomes that would have altered our conclusions, had they been observed. All P values were two-sided; P<0.05 was taken to indicate significance.

Results

A total of 930 subjects, whose characteristics are summarized in Table 1Table 1Base-Line Characteristics of the 930 Subjects., underwent randomization; there were no significant differences between the two treatment groups in demographic characteristics, dietary patterns, or history of adenomas. The mean (±SD) age was 61±9 years, and 72 percent were men. Most subjects had had only one or two adenomas removed from the large bowel before entering the study. The mean estimated diameter of the largest qualifying adenoma was 0.7±0.6 cm; in the sample sent for pathological review, 99 percent of the specimens had mild or moderate atypia. The mean estimated daily dietary intake of calcium at study entry was similar in the two study groups and was less than three quarters of the amount later provided in the form of supplements by the study intervention. Fewer than 3 percent of the subjects were taking calcium supplements at the start of the trial; all agreed to discontinue them during the study.

Of the 930 subjects who underwent randomization, 832 (89 percent) completed two follow-up colonoscopies (Table 2Table 2Numbers of Study Subjects Who Completed the Study Examinations.). We could not include 98 subjects (43 in the placebo group and 55 in the calcium group) in the main analyses: 47 died, 25 no longer wished to participate, 18 could not be examined because they were too ill or had moved, and 8 dropped out for unknown reasons. In addition to the study-mandated colonoscopies, an interval colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy was performed during the main risk period (second study interval) in 86 subjects. The proportions of subjects with inadequate study colonoscopies or with interim endoscopies did not differ significantly between the treatment groups (Table 2).

Self-reported adherence to the study regimen gradually declined during the trial (Table 3Table 3Self-Reported Adherence to Study Treatment, According to Treatment Assignment and Study Year.). Nevertheless, even during the fourth year, over 80 percent of the subjects took the study agents 90 to 100 percent of the time, and a further 7 percent took them 50 to 89 percent of the time. Use of supplemental calcium was reported at least once by only 19 subjects (2 percent) during the study (9 in the placebo group and 10 in the calcium group).

Among the 832 subjects who completed the study, at least one colorectal adenoma was diagnosed during the main risk period (the second study interval) in 127 subjects in the calcium group (31 percent) and 159 subjects in the placebo group (38 percent) (Table 4Table 4Outcomes with Respect to Recurrence of Adenomas.). The mean size of the largest adenoma was the same in the two groups (0.4 cm; P=0.43), but more adenomas were found in the placebo group (mean number per patient, 0.73 vs. 0.55; P=0.03). The unadjusted risk ratio for having at least one adenoma in the calcium group as compared with the placebo group was 0.83 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.68 to 1.00; P=0.05); after adjustment the risk ratio was 0.81 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.67 to 0.99; P=0.04). The unadjusted ratio of the average number of adenomas in the calcium group to that in the placebo group was 0.75 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.58 to 0.97; P=0.03); after adjustment it was 0.76 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.60 to 0.96; P=0.02). During the main risk period, invasive large-bowel cancer was found in four subjects (three in the placebo group and one in the calcium group), but no adenomas with severe atypia were found (P=0.62 for the difference in the proportions with severe atypia or cancer). Analysis of adenomas detected at the second follow-up examination (excluding findings on interval endoscopies) showed similar results (Table 4).

A similar effect of calcium was found during the first study interval. Among the subjects who completed the trial, at least one adenoma was found in the period up to and including the first follow-up examination in 103 subjects in the calcium group (25 percent) and 138 subjects in the placebo group (33 percent) (Table 4). The unadjusted risk ratio for at least one adenoma in this early interval was 0.77 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.62 to 0.96; P=0.02); the unadjusted ratio of the average numbers of adenomas was 0.73 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.54 to 0.97; P=0.03). These estimates were virtually unchanged after multivariate adjustment. Analysis of adenomas detected at the first follow-up examination yielded similar findings. At or before the first follow-up examination, invasive cancer was found in four subjects (two in the calcium group and two in the placebo group), and an adenoma with severe atypia was removed from one subject in each group.

A total of 913 subjects underwent at least one study colonoscopy. The unadjusted risk ratio for having at least one adenoma after randomization was 0.85 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.74 to 0.98; P=0.03); the corresponding ratio of the average numbers of adenomas was 0.74 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.59 to 0.92; P<0.001). Restriction of the analysis to adenomas detected at study follow-up examinations and adjustment for age, clinical center, sex, length of the surveillance period, and number of previous adenomas left these estimates substantially unchanged (Table 4).

We also assessed whether the effect of calcium supplementation differed according to the size or location of the adenomas. During the second study interval, an adenoma 0.5 cm or greater in diameter was found in 120 subjects (63 in the placebo group and 57 in the calcium group); the unadjusted risk ratio for having at least one adenoma of this size was 0.87 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.63 to 1.21; P= 0.70). In 166 subjects, the largest adenoma was less than 0.5 cm in diameter (96 in the placebo group and 70 in the calcium group); the corresponding unadjusted risk ratio was 0.75 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.57 to 0.98; P=0.03). During the second interval, 144 subjects had at least one adenoma in the splenic flexure or more distally, and 200 had at least one adenoma proximal to the splenic flexure. Calcium had a similar effect on the recurrence of adenoma in both regions of the bowel (data not shown).

The sensitivity analysis suggested that it is extremely unlikely that the outcomes of the 98 subjects who did not complete the study would have nullified our findings had they been able to be included. Among these subjects, recurrent adenomas would have had to be at least twice as frequent in the calcium group as in the placebo group to eliminate the statistical significance of the overall effect of calcium.

There was no evidence of modification of the effect of calcium by age, sex, or base-line dietary intake of calcium, fat, or fiber (data not shown). The effect of calcium was nonsignificantly stronger among subjects who reported taking all their study agents and among those who did not report any use of aspirin or other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (data not shown).

Medical symptoms and complications were not associated with treatment assignment. Similar proportions of subjects in the calcium and placebo groups were hospitalized for any reason, were hospitalized with cancer, or stopped treatment because of perceived side effects (Table 5Table 5Medical Events after Randomization.). The frequency of digestive symptoms (including constipation) did not differ substantially between the two treatment groups. Two subjects assigned to calcium and one assigned to placebo were found to have definite or probable urinary stones during the study.

Discussion

In this randomized, clinical trial, assignment to calcium supplementation was associated with a significant — though moderate — reduction in the risk of recurrent adenomas. The reduced risk became apparent as early as the first colonoscopic follow-up, after approximately nine months of treatment. There was no indication of a greater effect among subjects with a low base-line dietary intake of calcium or a high intake of fat. The intervention was well accepted and without major toxicity.

Epidemiologic data regarding the association between dietary calcium and the risk of colorectal cancer have varied considerably but in the aggregate are consistent with the effect we observed.6,7 Many studies13-18 found at least suggestions of an inverse association, but others found no relation19,20 or even the possibility of an increased risk with higher intake.21,22 The results of investigations of calcium intake and the risk of colorectal adenomas have also been conflicting,20,23-25 as have those of studies that considered calcium supplementation separately.16,21,26

These mixed findings may reflect the difficulties of dietary epidemiology. The effects of calcium intake are likely to be confounded by factors such as intake of calories, dietary fat, and phosphate and perhaps use of vitamin and mineral supplements, aspirin, or other agents with anticarcinogenic effects. Moreover, the measurement error inherent in dietary assessment would tend to obscure any association between calcium intake and the risk of neoplasia.12

Extensive research in animals supports the existence of an antineoplastic effect of calcium in the large bowel. Calcium inhibits the mucosal injury and hyperproliferation induced by bile acids or carcinogens,4 and most studies that used high-fat diets reported a lower incidence of tumors with supplementation.4,5 Effects of calcium have been absent or less pronounced among animals fed low-fat diets.27,28 One experimental study suggested that dietary calcium particularly inhibited tumors with ras mutations,29 and a recent epidemiologic study reported similar effects.30

Previously published trials of calcium supplementation have focused on biologic markers; some of these studies have supported the hypothesis that calcium may act through precipitation of bile acids or stool fatty acids, perhaps in complexes with calcium phosphate.31 Calcium supplementation has been observed to reduce the cytotoxicity of fecal water, reduce the proportion of secondary bile acids in the bile acid pool, and reduce fecal bile acid concentrations.31-34 However, other studies have not suggested such benefits, reporting no change35,36 or an actual increase37,38 in the concentration of bile acids in the water phase of stool. The results of studies of the effect of calcium on rectal mucosal proliferation have been conflicting.32,36,37,39-43

Our trial focused on the recurrence of adenomas over a four-year period. Therefore, it does not directly address whether calcium supplementation affects the risk of a first adenoma or of progression to invasive cancer. Still, the similarity of risk factors for colorectal cancer, recurrent adenomas, and first adenomas44 suggests that an agent that affects early stages of neoplasia in the bowel may well have implications for more advanced neoplasia. On the other hand, our data may suggest that calcium supplementation has a weaker effect on larger adenomas than on smaller ones, a pattern consistent with a limited efficacy of supplementation in patients with more advanced neoplasia.

Other unresolved issues are the timing and persistence of the antineoplastic action of calcium. In our trial, a reduction in the risk of recurrent adenomas became evident less than a year after randomization, but the effect did not become stronger with time. Conceivably, an increasing efficacy of treatment over time was counterbalanced by decreasing compliance. Studies with longer treatment and follow-up periods are needed to clarify these issues.

Our data provide evidence that calcium carbonate may have chemopreventive activity against colorectal neoplasia. The effect we found is consistent with epidemiologic data and is supported by a large body of experimental data in humans and in animals. Since the toxicity of this simple and inexpensive agent appears to be minimal, and since it may have other benefits (e.g., reduction in the risk of osteoporosis45), its risk–benefit balance may be favorable. However, before a general recommendation can confidently be made, it would be desirable to confirm these findings, obtain more information about effects on actual cancers or severe dysplasia, and document the risk–benefit balance in various population groups.
