About this study

Official title: A Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Randomized Study of the Potential Interaction Between Aspirin and Ibuprofen or Celecoxib.

Study design: Single center, placebo-controlled, double blind, parallel groups. To evaluate the potential interaction between aspirin and ibuprofen or celecoxib in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and documented stable ischemic heart disease, a total of 24 patients chronically treated with aspirin will be randomly assigned to one of the 3 treatment groups: 1) celecoxib 200 mg bid; 2) ibuprofen 600 mg tid; 3) placebo.

Read the detailed description

Patients with arthritis and vascular disease may receive both NSAIDs and lowdose aspirin for the secondary prevention of important vascular events. The use of COX-2 inhibitors may have the potential advantage vs. nonselective NSAIDs in reducing the probability of interfering with permanent inactivation of COX-1 platelet by low-dose aspirin, in this setting. In fact, recent studies suggest that the likelihood of COX-inhibitors to present this pharmacodynamic interaction is inversely related to their COX-2 selectivity. Thus, differently from the non-selective NSAID ibuprofen, prior administration of the selective COX-2 inhibitor rofecoxib, does not antagonize the irreversible inhibition induced by aspirin in healthy subjects. Aim of this study is to determine whether celecoxib given at therapeutic dose at steady state alters the antiplatelet activity of low-dose aspirin, in comparison with ibuprofen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing celecoxib and ibuprofen in people with Ischemic Heart Disease and Osteoarthritis, run by University of Chieti at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 inclusion and 13 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 30 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

serum thromboxane (TX)B2 (time frame: 1 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00565500, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 30 Nov 2007.
