About this study

Official title: Development of Novel Diagnostic Tools and Therapeutic Strategies for Oral Cancer

The research and development of novel anti-tumor agents in oral cancer is slow, the investigation of repositioning use of currently available drugs in clinical, such as a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor (Celebrex/Celecoxib) maybe a potential alternative strategy.

Read the detailed description

Celebrex (Celecoxib) is a form of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that directly targets COX-2 enzyme to block the inflammatory signaling and has been approved to treat colon cancer. In our preliminary findings, Celecoxib significantly inhibited cell growth,proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition programs in oral squamous cell carcinoma cell (OSCC) lines. The Institutional Review Board in China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) has approved the combination treatment of concurrent radiotherapy (RT) and/or Cisplatin with or without Celecoxib in a phase II clinical trial for relapse-free primary OSCC patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Celecoxib in people with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by China Medical University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ying-Chin Ko, MD-PhD (886-4-22052121 ext. 7322, ycko0406@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Relapse-free recurrence (time frame: 3 year relapse-free recurrence). 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 15 Apr 2016.
