As part of a program to develop drugs which will delay or prevent cancer in humans, the Chemoprevention Branch, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, is sponsoring 12 Phase I and 22 Phase II and III clinical trials. Three agent classes are significantly advanced in the trials. These are the retinoids, including 13-cis-retinoic acid, retinol, and 4-hydroxyphenylretinamide (nine studies), beta-carotene (seven studies), and calcium compounds (three studies). In addition, six promising new compounds are in Phase I or Phase II trials. These are: piroxicam, ibuprofen, oltipraz (a dithiolthione), difluoromethylornithine, glycyrrhetinic acid, and N-acetylcysteine. Key concepts related to the development of cancer chemopreventive agents are (1) the need for long-term administration, (2) the need for oral route of administration, (3) the matching of toxic side effects to degree of cancer risk.
