  > I have no knowledge of the field, but I'm guessing that zero profit potential for this therapy might have something to do with it. It could be a trial financed by public institutions/governments, since it may have good impact on the overall health system if you can drastically reduce/delay cancer rates... (plus aspirin is dirty cheap to make compared to expensive cancer care once a cancer is found). Unless such institutions have a clear incentive to let people die earlier... Anyway, my point is, even if for-profit organizations won't do it, public organizations should be able to get funding if it makes sense for the public good.
