Safety of Anal Curcumin

An Incremental Dose Escalation Trial of Safety and Tolerability of Curcumin

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Aug 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to see if curcumin can reverse anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (aHSIL) (high-grade anal precancerous cells or high-grade abnormal cells) in people living with HIV to avoid current treatments such as ablation (destroying abnormal cells with heat or surgical excision (cutting out the abnormal cells)), which have potential short- and long-term side effects.
