About this study

Official title: COX-2 Activity in Early and Advanced NSCLC and The Effect of Short-Term Administration of Specific COX-2 Inhibitors (Celecoxib)

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue, blood, and urine from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying celecoxib in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To assess cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and correlate the results with serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels, tumor microvessel density score, tumor prostaglandin E2 (PGE_2) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) levels, and the major urinary metabolite of PGE_2, PGE-M.
  • To assess the effect of specific COX-2 inhibitors (celecoxib) on COX-2 expression within the primary tumor, serum VEGF levels and tumor microvascular density, tumor PGE_2 and MMP levels, and urinary PGE-M in a cohort of patients with early-stage NSCLC.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral celecoxib 400 mg twice a day for 5 days in the absence of disease progression or unaccepted toxicity. Patients with early-stage disease then undergo surgery.

Biopsy, serum, and urine samples are obtained at baseline and after celecoxib treatment. The biopsy specimen are examined for the expression of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), PGE_2, and selected MMPs by immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and northern blotting. Serum and urine samples are analyzed for VEGF and PGE-M expression. COX-2 tumor expression is correlated with serum VEGF levels; tumor MMP-2, MMP-9, and PGE_2 expression; urinary PGE-M and microvessel density scores.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • celecoxibDrug

    Also called celebrex

    400 mg P.O. BID for five days prior to obtaining second serum/urine collection (starting after initial biopsy, serum and urine collection)

  • biopsyProcedure or surgery

    in patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC, a pretreatment excision of a small amount of tumor tissue

  • therapeutic conventional surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Also called tumor resection

    surgery to remove the lung tumor

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation of expression of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity with serum VEGF levels, tumor microvessel density score, tumor PEG2 and MMP levels, and urinary PGE-M

    COX-2 will be measured in pre-treatment tumor biopsy tissue as well as tumor microvessel density, MMP-2 and PGE2. VEGF will be measured in pre-treatment blood.

    Measured: Date of pretreatment biopsy surgery (tissue) and day 1 (blood)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effect of Celecoxib on COX-2 expression and microvascular density in tumor, PGE2 and MMP levels in tumor, serum VEGF levels and urinary PGE-M

    Patients with early-stage NSCLC will undergo tumor resection after 5 days of treatment with celecoxib. Tumor tissue will be examined. Post-treatment blood and urine will also be collected and examined.

    Measured: After day 5 of 5 days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing celecoxib, biopsy and therapeutic conventional surgery in people with Lung Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2013. 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.

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?

Correlation of expression of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity with serum VEGF levels, tumor microvessel density score, tumor PEG2 and MMP levels, and urinary PGE-M (time frame: Date of pretreatment biopsy surgery (tissue) and day 1 (blood)). 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 21 May 2013.
