About this study

Official title: Impact of Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitor, Celecoxib on Cortical Excitability and Electrophysiological Property in Brain of Healthy Volunteer: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study

the purposes of this study are to evaluate the acute electrophysiological response in brain cortex to single oral dose of celecoxib (400mg once) in healthy volunteer and the electrophysiological alteration in brain cortex by long-term treatment of celecoxib (200mg twice-daily for 7 days) in healthy volunteer

Read the detailed description

Inflammatory response is considered as defense mechanism against physical or infectious insults and also prevails within the central nervous system. Following certain kinds of brain injuries (i.e trauma, ischemia, hypoxia and seizure), innate immunity and subsequent adaptive immunity subserve the robust inflammatory cascades, leading to excitatory synaptic networks. Cellular elements, such as neuron, microglia as well as inflammatory molecules (cyclooxygenase2, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, etc) play essential roles in enhancing this process.

In line with these, compelling evidences in animal studies in epilepsy field indicate that celecoxib (COX-2 inhibitor) has anticonvulsant actions, although its mechanisms are not fully understood. Thus, oral administration of Celecoxib in human has a high potential to suppress the neuronal excitability. As a milestone for the big picture, current study is going to prove the changes of cortical excitability evoked by transmagnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalographic properties revealed by EEG in healthy volunteer, given that power spectral analysis of EEG and several parameters of TMS , can detect the small changes of neuronal activities by celecoxib.

What is being measured

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

  1. Power spectral change by single oral dose of celecoxib (400mg once) in healthy volunteer

    Power spectrum will be measured by electroencephalography

    Measured: 4 hours after medical treatment

  2. Cortical excitability alteration in brain cortex by long-term treatment of celecoxib (200mg twice-daily for 7 days) in healthy volunteer

    Cortical excitability will be measured by transmagnetic stimulation

    Measured: 7 days after medical treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Power spectral change by celecoxib in different locations and different frequency band.

    Power spectrum will be measured by electroencephalography

    Measured: 4 hours and 7 days after medical treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Celecoxib in people with Electrophysiologic Property of Brain, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 13 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 22 May 2017. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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.

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?

Power spectral change by single oral dose of celecoxib (400mg once) in healthy volunteer (time frame: 4 hours after medical treatment). 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 22 May 2017.
