Sponsor: Cancer Prevention Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Current Primary Outcome: Efficacy of Eflornithine plus Sulindac compared to Eflornithine alone and Sulindac alone determined by change in the number of polyps 2 mm or greater in a defined focal area of the rectum or pouch at baseline and after completion of the study treatment. [ Time Frame: 6 months from the start of treatment. ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Change in number of polyps 2 mm or greater in the distal 10 cm of rectum or pouch. [ Time Frame: 6 months from the start of treatment. ]
  • Qualitative change in overall colon/rectum/pouch polyp burden (number and size). [ Time Frame: 6 months from the start of treatment. ]
  • Presence of high grade dysplasia or villous adenoma in any polyp resected. [ Time Frame: 6 months from the start of treatment. ]
