About this study

Official title: Effect of Analgesics on the Irreversible Inactivation of Cyclooxygenase-1 Activity by Low Dose Aspirin and Endoscopic Evaluation of the Gastric Mucosal Effect

The purpose of this study is to compare several analgesics given in approved daily doses in combination with a daily cardioprotective dose of aspirin (81 mg), to study their bleeding properties and their effects on the stomach in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this randomized, multiple-dose, single-blind, parallel-group study is to examine in healthy volunteers the effects of analgesics given in approved daily doses in addition to daily cardio-protective doses of aspirin (81 mg) on the stomach. All subjects are examined endoscopically before receiving study medication, and at the end of treatment on Day 9. Each subject takes 81 mg of aspirin daily plus one of the following treatments to be taken daily on Days 1 through 8: four doses of acetaminophen 1000 mg, three doses of ibuprofen 400 mg, two doses of naproxen sodium (440 mg in the morning and 220 mg in the evening), four doses of aspirin 650 mg, two doses of celecoxib 200 mg, one dose of rofecoxib 25 mg, or no additional study medication. On Day 9, one dose of aspirin 81 mg and only one dose of the assigned treatment drug are taken prior to having an endoscopy. The primary endpoints of the study are the effects of the analgesics on the inhibition of COX-1 activity by aspirin, and any injury to the stomach mucosa, as determined by direct endoscopic observation. Safety assessments consist of routine monitoring for adverse events, as well as endoscopic examination of gastric mucosa for erosions and ulcerations occurring during the treatment phase. The study hypothesis is that the effects of acetaminophen on the stomach do not differ from the effects of ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, celecoxib, or rofecoxib. 81 mg aspirin and 1of 7 treatments for 8 days: acetaminophen 1000mg 4xday, ibuprofen 400mg 3xday, naproxen 440mg morning and 220mg evening, no additional study medication, aspirin 650mg 4xday, celecoxib 200mg 2xday,rofecoxib 25mg 1xday. On Day 9, 1 dose aspirin \& 1 dose study drug before endoscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib, rofecoxib in people with Analgesics, run by Johnson & Johnson Consumer and Personal Products Worldwide.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation; Lanza Mucosal Injury Score of the stomach. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jun 2011.
