E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether the combination of CPP-1X + sulindac is superior to either treatment individually, sulindac alone or CPP-1X alone, in delaying time to the first occurrence of any FAP-related event in the patient as a whole. This includes: 1) FAP related excisional intervention involving the colon, rectum, pouch, duodenum and/or 2) clinically important events which includes progression to more advanced duodenal polyposis, cancer or death. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To evaluate the potentially effect modifying properties of: a. Presence or absence of an ODC polymorphism b. The excretion of 4 urinary polyamines (diacetylspermine, n1-acetylspermidine, n8-acetylspermidine and decarboxylated SAM) Other secondary outcomes : 1. Safety outcomes by analysis of adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. 2. Pharmacokinetic outcomes by evaluating population pharmacokinetics for CPP-1X (eflornithine) and sulindac. 3. Evaluate tissue and dietary polyamine levels. 4. Patient reported quality of life using HRQoL and patient utilities. 5. A pilot evaluation of an FAP-specific assessment, time to first FAP-related beneficent event, will be studied. This will involve analyzing the endoscopic polyposis data for regression of pre-colectomy colorectal polyposis, rectal/pouch polyposis, and regression of duodenal polyposis. 6. An analysis of the components and subgroups included in the primary analysis, and their contribution to the primary outcome. |

9. Patients with significant hearing loss are not eligible for study participation as defined below. Hearing loss that affects everyday life and/or for which a hearing aid is required. 10. Intact colon/rectum or retained rectum or ileal pouch: a) cancer on biopsy b)high grade dysplasia found on polyp biopsy where the polyp is not completely removed c)a large polyp (>1cm) not completely removed 11.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary Efficacy: The primary end-point is the first occurrence of any FAP-related event in the patient as a whole.

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Subjects will be assessed at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 months. Endoscopies (upper and lower GI will be carried out every 6 months. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary efficacy outcomes in this study will include the following: 2. To evaluate the potentially effect modifying properties of: a. Presence or absence of an ODC polymorphism b. The excretion of 4 urinary polyamines (diacetylspermine, n1-acetylspermidine, n8-acetylspermidine and decarboxylated SAM) Other secondary outcomes in this study include the following: 3. Safety outcomes will be assessed by summary analysis of adverse events and clinical laboratory abnormalities. 4. Pharmacokinetic outcomes will be assessed by evaluating the population pharmacokinetics for CPP-1X (eflornithine) and sulindac. 5. Evaluate tissue and dietary polyamine levels. 6. Patient reported quality of life will be evaluated using HRQoL and patient utilities. 7. A pilot evaluation of an FAP-specific assessment, the time to the first FAP-related beneficent event, will be studied. This will involve analyzing the endoscopic polyposis data for regression of pre-colectomy colorectal polyposis, rectal/pouch polyposis, and regression of duodenal polyposis. 8.
