Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer The use of eflornithine may be an effective way to prevent the recurrence of or further development of cervical cancer
PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of eflornithine in preventing cervical cancer in patients who have cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the efficacy of eflornithine versus placebo in causing regression in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia II Compare the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of these treatment regimens in these patients III Establish the biochemical tissue markers of DNA content PCNA the ras oncogene EGFR and keratin and involucrin as intermediate biomarker end points for squamous carcinogenesis in these patients
OUTLINE This is a randomized double blind multicenter study Patients are randomized to one of three treatment arms Arm I-II Patients receive one of two different doses of oral eflornithine daily Arm III Patients receive oral placebo daily Treatment continues for 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients are followed at 28 days and then at 6 12 18 and 24 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 180 patients 60 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
