About this study

This trial is a phase IIa human clinical study, in which 60 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at basal ganglion or thalamus within 6 h after onset will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly assigned as treatment group or control group as 1:1 distribution. Early initiation of celecoxib within 6 h after ICH and treatment for 21 days will be performed. The safety will be evaluated by drug adverse effects. The efficacy will be assessed by hematoma expansion, brain edema, and 3-month modified Rankin scale.

Read the detailed description

A phase IIa human clinical trial will be performed to clarify the safety and efficacy of using usual dose of celecoxib (200 mg/day) for 21 days starting within 6 hours after onset of ICH. Totally 60 patients will be enrolled prospectively, and the case number was estimated by statistical methods for the percentage of participants with increased perihematomal edema volume shown in the previous clinical trial (Lee et al., 2013) (estimated by G-power software, settings as: exact test, one sample test, α = 0.05, power = 0.95). Patients will be randomly assigned as treatment group or control group as 1:1 distribution.

Intervention: Celecoxib 200 mg per dose, started within 6 h after onset, then one dose per day for 21 days in the treatment group. The low dose of Celecoxib will be used to minimize the side effect of Celecoxib. No trial medication will be given for the control group. Pregnancy will be excluded at enrollment and prevented throughout the treatment period in female cases at reproductive ages.

Evaluations:

  1. Brain CT:
  2. Initial brain CT: for initial hematoma volume (length * width * height /2)
  3. Brain CT on day 2 for final hematoma volume and hematoma expansion
  4. Brain CT on day 7±1 for perihematomal edema and hematoma resolution
  5. Neurological functions: NIHSS score, GCS score, modified Rankin scale (mRS) on day 1, 2, 7±2, 14±2, 21±2, and mRS at 3 months
  6. Renal function (creatinine) on day 1, then once per week during day 2-7, day 8-14 and 15-21
  7. Gastrointestinal bleeding evens within 21 days
  8. Myocardial infarction evens within 21 days
  9. Blood sampling on day 1, 7±2, and 21±2

Patient enrollment: If the patient's consciousness is not clear before the enrollment of this study, his (her) family can decide the enrollment for this patient. Once the patient regains his (her) consciousness, we will reconfirm with the patient about the enrollment of this study.

Data checks: The data recorded of this study will be double-checked for their accuracy and compared with predefined ranges to avoid typing error.

Plan for missing data: Missing data include those data which are reported as missing, unavailable, uninterpretable, or considered missing because of data inconsistency or out-of-range results. This study will try to minimize missing data by limiting the collection of data to essential information and minimizing the number of follow-up visits, develop a documentation of this study for the methods to screen the participants and the procedures to follow up, appropriate training for all personnel related to this study, and data will be reviewed as close to real-time as possible.

Statistical analysis plan: The continuous variables between Celecoxib group and control group will be compared using Mann-Whitney U test if these data are not with normal distribution, or t-test if these data are with normal distribution. Categorical data will be compared using Fisher's exact test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hematoma expansion volume percentage

    (Followed hematoma volume - initial hematoma volume) / initial hematoma volume x100%

    Measured: Day 2

  2. Perihematomal edema change volume percentage

    (Followed perihematomal edema volume - initial perihematomal edema volume) / initial perihematomal edema volume x100%

    Measured: Day 2, 7

  3. Percentage of participants with perihematomal edema volume change > 20%

    Participants with [(followed perihematomal edema volume - initial perihematomal edema volume) / initial perihematomal edema volume x100%] larger than 20% / total participants x100%

    Measured: Day 2, 7

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Hematoma expansion volume

    Followed hematoma volume - initial hematoma volume

    Measured: Day 2

  2. Percentage of participants with hematoma expansion (33% relative or 12.5 mL absolute volume increase)

    Participants with hematoma expansion on followed CT (33% relative volume increase or 12.5 mL absolute volume increase) / total participants X100%

    Measured: Day 2

  3. Perihematomal edema increase volume

    Followed perihematomal edema volume - initial perihematomal edema volume

    Measured: Day 2, 7±1

  4. Hematoma and perihematomal edema expansion volume

    Total volume of hematoma and perihematomal edema on followed CT - initial total volume of hematoma and perihematomal edema

    Measured: Day 2, 7±1

  5. Hematoma and perihematomal edema expansion percentage

    (Total volume of hematoma and perihematomal edema on followed CT - total volume of hematoma and perihematomal edema on initial CT) / total volume of hematoma and perihematomal edema on initial CT X100%

    Measured: Day 2, 7±1

  6. Change in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    NIHSS score on day 21 - initial NIHSS score. NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurological deficit.

    Measured: Day 21±2

  7. Percentage of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    serious AEs (death, recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, gastrointestinal bleeding requiring blood transfusion, etc.), nonserious AEs (abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding without requiring blood transfusion, other bleeding, skin rash, etc.) Percentage of participants with serious AEs = participants with serious AEs / total participants x100% Percentage of participants with nonserious AEs = participants with nonserious AEs / total participants x100% Percentage of participants with AEs = participants with AEs / total participants x100%

    Measured: Day 1-21

  8. modified Rankin scale (mRS) score

    Modified Rankin scale (mRS) score is a functional outcome score, ranging from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.

    Measured: 3-month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Celecoxib 200mg in people with Intracerebral Hemorrhage, run by National Taiwan 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 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Shin-Joe Yeh, MD PhD (886-2-23123456 ext. 62144, shinjoeyeh@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hematoma expansion volume percentage (time frame: Day 2). The study lists 3 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 NCT05434065, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Sep 2024.
