A double-blind randomized Phase II chemoprevention trial of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) was conducted in a group of women at high risk for development of breast cancer. DFMO is an irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, the limiting enzyme of polyamine synthesis that is often up-regulated in breast cancer. Experimental Design: Study entrants were required to have random periareolar fine-needle aspiration cytology prior to entry that exhibited hyperplasia or hyperplasia with atypia, as well as a mammogram and clinical breast exam judged as not suspicious for breast cancer and no clinical hearing loss. Subjects were randomized to 6 months of oral DFMO (0.5 g/m(2)/day) or placebo, followed by repeat fine-needle aspiration and biomarker assessment. The main study end point was an improvement in cytologic pattern.
