Diagnosis of phenotypic classical FAP with disease involvement of the duodenum and/or colon/rectum/pouch.
1. Genotype: Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mutation (with or without family history) required
2. Classical FAP Phenotype: 100's to 1,000's of colorectal adenomatous polyps, usually appearing in teenage years
Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy/ lower gastrointestinal (LGI) endoscopy (proctoscopy/colonoscopy) performed within 30 days of randomization.
Patients with an intact colon/rectum, except for clinical polyposis, and prophylactic surgery is being considered as a stratification site.
Rectal/pouch polyposis as a stratification site as follows:
1. At least three years since colectomy with ileorectal anastamosis (IRA)/proctocolectomy with pouch, and demonstrating polyposis as defined by Stage 1, 2, 3, of the proposed InSiGHT 2011 Staging System (Appendix B) and summarized as follows:
Stage 1: 10-25 polyps, all \< 5 mm Stage 2: 10-25 polyps, at least one \> 1 cm Stage 3: \>25 polyps amenable to complete removal, or any incompletely removed sessile polyp, or any evidence of high grade dysplasia, even if completely removed. \[Note: For staging purposes only.\]
2. For all subjects, any rectal/pouch polyps \> 5 mm must be excised at "baseline".
Duodenal polyposis as a stratification site; one or more of the following:
1. Current Spigelman Stage 3 or 4.
2. Prior surgical endoscopic intervention within the past six months for Spigelman Stage 3 or 4 that may have been down staged to Spigelman Stage 1 or 2.
Hematopoietic Status (within 30 days prior to randomization):
1. No significant hematologic abnormalities
2. White blood cell count (WBC) at least 3,000/mm3
3. Platelet count at least 100,000/mm3
4. Hemoglobin at least 10.0 g/dL
5. No history of clinical coagulopathy
Hepatic Status (within 30 days prior to randomization):
1. Bilirubin no greater than 1.5 times ULN
2. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) no greater than 1.5 times ULN
3. Alkaline phosphatase no greater than 1.5 times ULN
Renal Status (within 30 days prior to randomization):
a) Creatinine no greater than 1.5 times ULN
Hearing:
a) No clinically significant hearing loss, defined in Section 6.2, number 9.
If female, neither pregnant nor lactating.
Negative pregnancy test if female of child-bearing potential. Fertile patients must use effective contraception\*.
Absence of gross blood in stool; red blood on toilet paper only acceptable.
No discrete gastric or duodenal ulcer greater than 5 mm within the past year except Helicobacter pylori-related peptic ulcer disease treated with antibiotics.
No invasive malignancy within the past 5 years except resected non-melanomatous skin cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, or precancerous cervical dysplasia.
No other significant medical or psychiatric problems that would preclude study participation or interfere with capacity to give informed consent.
Use of 81-100 mg daily aspirin or up to 700 mg aspirin not more than once a week are eligible.
No concurrent warfarin, fluconazole, lithium, Pradaxa® or other direct thrombin inhibitors, Plavix®, cyclosporine, other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, aspirin, diflunisal), diuretics (furosemide and thiazides), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), methotrexate, probenecid, propoxyphene hydrochloride, Tylenol® (acetaminophen) preparations containing aspirin or cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs.
Willingness to forego concurrent use of supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids, corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or other FAP directed drug therapy.
Able to provide informed consent and follow protocol requirements.
You may not be if

* Uncontrolled high blood pressure (systolic blood pressure \> 150 mm Hg
* Unstable angina
* History of documented myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident
* New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure
