About this study

Official title: CI(R)CA : Coumadin Interaction With Rofecoxib, Celecoxib and Acetaminophen. A Prospective Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study.

Coumadin drug-drug interactions (DDI) are frequent. Patients in permanent use of coumadin are advised to avoid traditional nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs to avoid risk of bleeding. New selctive cyclooxygesase 2 inhibitors arisen as potential option for treating pain and inflamation in these patients once interactions with coumadin are supposed to be lower. The CI(R)CA study was made to evaluate in a prospective fashion the occurrence of DDI with new cyclooxygenase antiinflammatory drugs and coumadin when compared to acetaminophen and placebo.

Read the detailed description

The CI(R)CA study included patient diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome in permanent use of coumadin. Eligible patients were invited to use in a prospective cross-over mode two weeks of celecoxib, rofecoxib, acetaminophen and placebo with two weeks of wash out between drugs. Their international normalized ratio (INR) were measured before and during the use of each study drug. The interaction with coumadin was evaluated according to increases or decreases on the INR after each medication.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Celecoxib, Acetaminophen and Rofecoxib in people with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome, run by Hospital Universitario Pedro Ernesto.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 8 Jan 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?

International Normalized Ratio (time frame: increase or decrease on the INR after coxibs or placebo use during 15 days). 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 8 Jan 2013.
