About this study

Official title: Lung Cancer Chemoprevention With Celecoxib In Ex-Smokers

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy uses certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. Celecoxib may be effective in preventing the development or recurrence of lung cancer in former heavy smokers.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of celecoxib in preventing the development or recurrence of lung cancer in former heavy smokers who are at risk of developing cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the feasibility of chemoprevention of lung cancer with celecoxib in former heavy smokers at risk for developing primary or second primary lung cancer.
  • Determine the safety and side effects of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the role of COX-2-specific inhibitors (e.g., celecoxib) on antitumor immunity within the lung microenvironment of these patients.
  • Determine the effects of COX-2 inhibition on angiogenesis in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are stratified according to presence of preinvasive lesions (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral placebo twice daily for 6 months.
  • Arm II: Patients receive oral celecoxib twice daily for 6 months. Treatment in both arms continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed every 6 months during treatment and then annually for up to 4 years.

Patients are followed annually for up to 4 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 180 patients (90 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evidence of molecular/genetic aberrations

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Changes indicative of response to treatment in the targeted signaling pathway

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Parameters that reflect the overall balance of the epigenetic phenomenon thought to facilitate or promote tumorigenesis

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing celecoxib in people with Lung Cancer, run by University of California, Los Angeles at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 21 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 20 Jun 2011. 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 United States. 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?

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?

Modulation of the ki-67 labeling index (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Jun 2011.
