Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized early phase I trial studies how well broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement works in decreasing toxicity in heavy smokers. Broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement is a dietary supplement made from broccoli sprout and seed extract powder, and may break down some of the cancer causing substances in tobacco smoke and produce substances that may protect cells from tobacco smoke-induced damage in current smokers.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement (Avmacol) increases the urinary excretion of the mercapturic acid of the tobacco carcinogen, benzene, in healthy volunteers who are current heavy smokers. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether Avmacol increases the urinary excretion of the mercapturic acids of other tobacco carcinogens, including acrolein and crotonaldehyde. II. To determine whether Avmacol increases the urinary excretion of the mercapturic acids of tobacco carcinogens, normalized by bio-measurement of tobacco exposure. III. To determine whether Avmacol upregulates the NRF2 target gene transcripts in the buccal cells of current smokers. IV. To evaluate for a dose-response relationship between Avmacol and the detoxification of tobacco carcinogens and the expression of NRF2 target gene transcripts. V. To determine the relationship between systemic study agent exposure and biomarker modulation. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes are important genetic modulators of detoxification of tobacco carcinogens with Avmacol treatment. II. To bank specimens for future research including evaluation of tobacco gene signatures in buccal and nasal epithelium and buccal cell nuclear morphometry. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized into 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Participants receive lower dose broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement orally (PO) daily for 10-14 days. After 10-14 days, participants receive higher dose broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement PO daily for 10-14 days. ARM II: Participants receive higher dose broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement PO daily for 10-14 days. After 10-14 days, participants receive lower dose broccoli sprout/broccoli seed extract supplement PO daily for 10-14 days. After completion of study, participants are followed up at 10-14 days. ;
