size / enrollment: 171
study design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
primary outcomes:
- Delaying time to the 1st occurrence of any FAP-related event. [ Time Frame:24 months from the start of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
secondary outcomes:
- Presence or absence of an ODC polymorphism [ Time Frame: 24 months from the start of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

1. Bilirubin no greater than 1.5 times ULN
2. AST and ALT no greater than 1.5 times ULN
3. Alkaline phosphatase no greater than 1.5 times ULN
- Renal Status (within 30 days prior to randomization):
a) Creatinine no greater than 1.5 times ULN - Hearing:
a) No clinically significant hearing loss, defined in Section 6.2, number 9.

- No invasive malignancy within the past 5 years except resected non-melanomatous skin cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, or precancerous cervical dysplasia.
- No other significant medical or psychiatric problems that would preclude study participation or interfere with capacity to give informed consent.
- Use of 81-100 mg daily aspirin or up to 700 mg aspirin not more than once a week are eligible.
- No concurrent warfarin, fluconazole, lithium, Pradaxa® or other direct thrombin inhibitors, Plavix®, cyclosporine, other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, aspirin, diflunisal), diuretics (furosemide and thiazides), DMSO, methotrexate, probenecid, propoxyphene hydrochloride, Tylenol® (acetaminophen) preparations containing aspirin or cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs.
