Description:
The investigators hypothesize that the combination of eflornithine and sulindac will be
effective in reducing a three-year event rate of adenomas and second primary colorectal
cancers in patients previously treated for Stages 0 through III colon or rectal cancer.

Purpose
The investigators hypothesize that the combination of eflornithine and sulindac will be
effective in reducing a three-year event rate of adenomas and second primary colorectal
cancers in patients previously treated for Stages 0 through III colon cancer.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to assess whether eflornithine 500 mg or sulindac 150 mg are
effective in reducing the 3-year event rate of high risk adenoma or second primary colorectal
cancer in Stage 0, I II and III colon cancer patients. The primary hypothesis will test the
main effect of each agent, as well as the comparison of placebo alone to the combination of
sulindac and eflornithine.

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | 3-year event rate after registration among Stage 0-III colon cancer patients. (An event is defined as high-risk adenoma or second primary colorectal cancer.) |
Time Frame: | 3 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The primary objective is to assess whether eflornithine 500 mg or sulindac 150 mg are effective in reducing the 3-year event rate, defined as high risk adenoma or 2nd primary colorectal cancer, in Stage 0, I, II, and III colon cancer patients. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Incidence of colorectal lesions with respect to high-grade dysplasia, adenomas with villous features, adenomas 1 cm or greater, multiple adenomas, polyps >/= 0.3 cm, total advanced colorectal events or total colorectal events at 3 years. |
Time Frame: | 3 years and 8 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Incidence of colorectal lesions with respect to high grade dysplasia, adenomas with villous features, adenomas 1 cm or greater, multiple adenomas, polyps >/= 0.3 cm, total advanced colorectal events (defined as the number of patients with at least one high risk adenoma, 2nd primary colorectal cancer, colorectal cancer recurrence, or metastasis) or total colorectal cancer events (defined as the number of patients with at least one advanced colorectal event or polyp)at 3 years and 8 years. |
Measure: | Toxicity by CTCAEv.4.0 at 3 years |
Time Frame: | 3 years |
Safety Issue: | |

Safety Issue: | |
Description: | |
Measure: | Interaction of intervention arm and baseline statin use with respect to 3-year event rate. |
Time Frame: | 3 year |
Safety Issue: | |
