About this study

The primary objective for this trial is to determine the biological ability of apricoxib to decrease T reg cells in the peripheral blood and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in subjects compared to those who have not in subjects with early stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The secondary objectives are to determine the efficacy of apricoxib to inhibit CD4+CD25+ T reg and FOXP3 function and exploration of COX-2 dependent biomarkers of apoptosis resistance, angiogenesis, invasion, and immunity.

What participants receive

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

  • ApricoxibDrug

    As part of the trial, forty eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to receive Apricoxib 400 mg orally once daily or no drug intervention for a 7 day period (Days 0-6) prior to surgical resection of the lung tumor but between the two surgeries.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare Level of CD4+CD25high T Lymphocyte Regulatory Cells in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes From Surgical Resection Specimens of Subjects With Early Stage NSCLC Who Have Received Apricoxib to Those Who Have Not

    As part of the trial, forty eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to receive Apricoxib 400 mg orally once daily or no drug intervention for a 7 day period (Days 0-6) prior to surgical resection of the lung tumor but between the two surgeries. Peripheral blood and urine will be obtained on Days 0 and 7 from both groups (prior to surgical incision). Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lymph node tissue will be obtained on Days 0 and 7. TIL will be obtained from surgical resection specimens of the primary lung tumor only on Day 7

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effect of Apricoxib on Levels of CD4+CD25+ T Regulatory Cells in Peripheral Blood.Also,Biomarkers of Apoptosis Resistance,Angiogenesis,Invasion and Immunity Will be Tested in the Lab to Check How Effective Apricoxib is in Inhibiting These Proteins.

    Peripheral blood from patients with NSCLC has been reported to have an increase in the percentages of CD4+CD25+ T reg cells.In contrast <10% of the PBLs of normal donors have this phenotype. As such, CD4+CD25+ cells will be assessed in addition to FOXP3 levels in PBL. In addition, exploration of COX-2 dependent biomarkers of apoptosis resistance, angiogenesis, invasion, and immunity will be studied. COX-2, FOXP3, IL-10, IL-12, MDC, CXCR4 and survivin will be analyzed in plasma.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Apricoxib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 9 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2020. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Feb 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Compare Level of CD4+CD25high T Lymphocyte Regulatory Cells in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes and Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes From Surgical Resection Specimens of Subjects With Early Stage NSCLC Who Have Received Apricoxib to Those Who Have Not (time frame: 7 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 22 Sep 2020.
