Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: to perform a study of acetylsalicylic acid by using a proteomic assay for comparing platelet COX-1 and colorectal cancer mucosal COX-1 and COX-2 after different doses of acetylsalicylic acid;Secondary Objective: measurement of PGE2 and p-S6 levels in colorectal cancer mucosa, assessment of indirect biomarkers of acetylsalicylic acid action (serum TXB2, PFA and urinary levels of 11-dehydro-TXB2, (TX-M)), evaluation of systemic biomarkers of inflammatory/tumorigenic COX-2 by assessing urinary levels of major metabolite of PGE2 (PGE-M);Primary end point(s): Assessment of acetylation level of COX enzymes in platelets and non-neoplastic and neoplastic colonic tissues;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: before the beginning of the treatment and 3-4 weeks of acetylsalicylic acid treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): assessment of PGE2 level and S6 protein phosphorylation state in colorectal mucosa depending on AAS dosis and assessment of dosis effect e¡over indirect biomarkers;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: before the beginning of the treatment and 3-4 weeks of acetylsalicylic acid treatment
