About this study

The study has been designed to assess the effect of cyclooxygenase inhibition on blood pressure, cerebral blood flow, ventilation and renal hemodynamics following chronic intermittent hypoxia exposure.

Read the detailed description

The study will specifically evaluate:

  1. Cardiovascular effect of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on cerebral, vascular, blood pressure and homeostatic responses following chronic intermittent hypoxia exposure.
  2. Ventilatory response of cyclooxygenase inhibitors following chronic intermittent hypoxia exposure
  3. Evaluate the renal hemodynamic effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia exposure and cyclooxygenase inhibition.

What participants receive

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

  • Intermittent hypoxiaOther

    The subjects will receive five days of drug intervention: either non-selective cyclooxygenase (Indomethacin) or selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition (Celecoxib) or placebo. On the testing day, the subjects will undergo an acute intermittent hypoxia testing before and six hours of hypoxic chamber exposure mimicking obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

  • IndomethacinDrug

    Also called Apo-Indomethacin

    The subjects will receive five days of drug intervention: either non-selective cyclooxygenase (Indomethacin) or selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition (Celecoxib) or placebo. Then they will be tested with an exposure of intermittent hypoxia.

    Indomethacin: 50 mg, Oral, three times per day for five days.

  • CelecoxibDrug

    Also called Celebrex

    The subjects will receive five days of drug intervention: either non-selective cyclooxygenase (Indomethacin) or selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition (Celecoxib) or placebo. Then they will be tested with an exposure of intermittent hypoxia.

    Celecoxib: 200 mg, Oral, two times per day for five days with a visually matching sequential placebo in between of two doses.

  • PlaceboDrug

    The subjects will receive five days of drug intervention: either non-selective cyclooxygenase (Indomethacin) or selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition (Celecoxib) or placebo. Then they will be tested with an exposure of intermittent hypoxia.

    Placebo: Oral, three times per day for five days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial Blood Pressure

    Blood pressure will be monitored during all three protocols.

    Measured: Six weeks

  2. Cerebral Blood Flow

    The cerebral blood flow will be mesauresed during each testing days of all three protocols.

    Measured: Six weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Ventilatory Response

    The ventilatory response will be measured during each testing days of all three protocols.

    Measured: Six weeks.

  2. Renal Hemodynamics

    The renal hemodynamics will be measured during each testing days of all three protocols.

    Measured: Six weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Intermittent hypoxia, Indomethacin and Celecoxib in people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension, run by University of Calgary at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 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 5 Dec 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 Canada. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Arterial Blood Pressure (time frame: Six weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01280006, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Dec 2011.
