Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming growing or coming back The use of sulindac may prevent breast cancer
PURPOSE This randomized phase I trial is studying the effects of sulindac to prevent breast cancer in women at high risk for breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Primary
Determine the partitioning of sulindac and its metabolites in women at high risk for breast cancer by measuring drug and metabolite levels in nipple aspirate fluid NAF after 6 weeks of therapy
Secondary
Determine prostaglandin levels in the NAF of patients treated with this drug Determine if NAG-1 levels are induced in the NAF of patients treated with this drug Determine if C-reactive protein levels are reduced in the NAF of patients treated with this drug Determine if NAG-1 levels andor karyometric features in ductal epithelial cells are modulated in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a randomized open-label study
Patients undergo nipple aspirate fluid NAF collection Patients are then randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms
Arm I Patients receive oral sulindac once daily Arm II Patients receive oral sulindac twice daily In both arms treatment continues for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity All patients then undergo a second NAF collection
After completion of study treatment patients are followed at 2 weeks
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 30 patients 15 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study
