We did a secondary analysis of data from three large colorectal adenoma chemoprevention trials to assess the association between 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor use and reduced risk of recurrent colorectal adenomas. Reported use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors was not associated with a reduced recurrence of colorectal adenomas, multiple adenomas, or advanced adenomas. Lack of statistical power from limited exposure to HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors might be responsible for the lack of association.
