Molecular Targeting of 15-LOX-1 for Apoptosis Induction in Human Colorectal Cancers
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Celecoxib and Colonoscopy Biopsy for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. Completed, enrolled 51 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Primary Objective: * To determine whether celecoxib downregulates GATA-6 expression to upregulate 15-LOX-1 expression and induce apoptosis in human rectal tumors, researchers will measure GATA-6 and 15-LOX-1 expression, 13-S-HODE levels, and apoptosis rates in normal and colorectal polyp epithelial tissues before and after 6 months of celecoxib treatment of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
