A Phase III Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial of the Combination of DFMO and Sulindac to Decrease the Rate of Recurrence of Adenomatous Polyps in the Colon
This randomized phase III trial is studying eflornithine and sulindac to see how well they work compared to a placebo in preventing colorectal cancer in patients with colon polyps. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of eflornithine and sulindac may prevent colorectal cancer. It is not yet known whether eflornithine and sulindac are more effective than a placebo in preventing colorectal cancer
