Registered outcomes6
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Percent Change in the Number of Polyps Greater Than or Equal to 2mm in Diameter in Focal Area(s) of the Colorectum | Baseline up to 6 months | Differences between average treatment effects of two study arms tested using two-sided type I error rate of 5% in two-sample t-test. If model assumptions not met by data or transformations of data, appropriate nonparametric tests (e.g. Wilcoxon rank sums test) were used to compare treatment arms - Percent change of polyp counts from baseline to 6 months, ie \[(6 months - baseline) x 100\]/baseline (%). For each participant, first were matched polyps between baseline \& 6 months by region and landmark and summed over all matched regions on number of polyps \>2 mm to calculate total number of polyps \>2 mm at baseline \& 6 months, respectively. For participants refusing exit colonoscopy, 0% change entered as primary endpoint. Defined ITT All: All patients; if 6-month polyp counts missing = 0% change; ITT Measurable: All participants with baseline \& 6 month polyp counts; ITT Evaluable: ITT Measurable participants who also took 80% of treatment, both overall as well as during final 60 days. |
| Primary | Number of Participants With Adverse Events Occurring at a Frequency of 5% or Grade 3 and Higher | 6 months | To determine the relative tolerability and safety of celecoxib + DFMO in FAP study participants. Includes only adverse events that occurred in at least 5% of the patients or a patient exhibited at least 1 grade 3 toxicity. |
| Secondary | Percentage Change in Global Colorectal Polyps Burden | 6 months | Percentage Change in Global Colorectal Polyps burden |
| Secondary | Percent Change in the Area of Plaque-like Duodenal Polyps | 6 months | |
| Other | Global Duodenal Polyp Burden | 6 months | |
| Other | Percent Change in Polyp Size in Focal Area(s) of the Colorectum | Baseline up to 2 months after completion of study treatment |
