Overview

Eflornithine + sulindac is an orally administered combination therapy under development primarily for the treatment of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Eflornithine (also known as difluoromethylornithine or DFMO) acts by inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase, thereby reducing levels of polyamines that promote adenoma growth. Sulindac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks cyclic guanosine monophosphate-phosphodiesterase (cGMP-PDE), permitting apoptotic signaling and activating SSAT to expel polyamines from intestinal cells. The combination targets two different pathways involved in polyp formation and progression. Developed by Panbela Therapeutics, this therapy has been evaluated in phase III clinical trials for FAP and is also being studied for prevention of recurrence of high-risk adenomas and second primary colorectal cancers in patients with stage 0–III colon or rectal cancer[1][4][5][6].
