Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Aspirin

Twenty eight enteric coated 81mg Aspirin tablets will be dispensed for daily oral dosing, to be taken with a meal at the same time of day.

Drug: Aspirin

Active Comparator: Omega-3 Free Fatty Acids

Three hundred thirty-six gelatin coated 450 mg capsules containing approximately 180 mg of EPA and 135 mg of DHA will be dispensed. Patients are to take 12 capsules daily with meals, either once daily (12 capsules with one meal) or divided twice daily (e.g., six with breakfast and six with dinner).

Dietary Supplement: Omega 3 FFA

Active Comparator: Aspirin & Omega-3 FFAs

Aspirin (81 mg po daily) to be taken simultaneously with Omega-3 Free Fatty Acids (1500mg of docosahexaoic acid (DHA) and 2500mg eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) given daily.

Drug: Aspirin

Dietary Supplement: Omega 3 FFA

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Biomarker levels [29 days]

    Blood levels of Prostaglandin E2, aromatase, pro-inflammatory cytokines, steroids, and lipids will be measured pre and post treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. BMI [29 Days]

    Correlation for body mass index impact on response to COX2 inhibition.
