Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 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.; Secondary Objective: 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. ;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. This includes: 1) FAP related excisional intervention involving the colon, rectum, pouch, duodenum and/or 2) clinically important events which includes progression to more advanc

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
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. An analysis of the components and subgroups included in the primary analysis, and their contribution to the primary outcome ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. Ongoing over the duration of the study, for DMC meetings, and at the end of the study. 2. At the end of the treatment phase, from the last patient enrolled. 3. PK samples will be collected at the 3 month subject evaluation point. Analysis of all study subjects will be done after the last visit of the last subject.
