Trial Information

Chemoprevention of Duodenal Polyps in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the ability of exisulind to inhibit growth and development of duodenal
adenomas in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis.

- Determine the effect on apoptosis in polyp vs mucosal tissue in these patients when
treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are
randomized to one of two treatment arms.

- Arm I: Patients receive oral exisulind 4 times daily.

- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo 4 times daily. Treatment continues for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients (50 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this
study.
