Clinical Trial Name - Celecoxib Compared With No Treatment Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Localized Prostate C

 
Original Study ID : CDR0000068812
Secondary ID : Array
NCT ID : NCT00022399
Brief Title : Celecoxib Compared With No Treatment Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer
Official Title : A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial Of Celecoxib In Men Pre-Prostatectomy For Clinically Localized Adenocarcinoma Of The Prostate: Evaluation Of Drug-Specific Biomarker Modulation
Brief Summary :

RATIONALE: Celecoxib may be an effective treatment for early stage prostate cancer. It is not yet known if celecoxib is more effective than no treatment before surgery for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to determine the effectiveness of celecoxib given before surgery to remove the prostate in treating patients who have localized prostate cancer.

Source : National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Detailed Description :

OBJECTIVES: - Compare biomarker modulation (prostaglandin levels) in tissue samples of patients with localized prostate cancer treated with neoadjuvant celecoxib vs placebo followed by prostatectomy. - Compare the effect of these regimens on angiogenic factors within the prostate in these patients. - Determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of celecoxib in these patients. - Compare the toxicity profiles of these regimens in these patients. - Compare the compliance of patients treated with these regimens. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive oral neoadjuvant celecoxib twice daily. - Arm II: Patients receive oral neoadjuvant placebo twice daily. Treatment in both arms continues for at least 4 weeks followed by prostatectomy. Patients are followed within 1 month and then at 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60-70 patients (at least 30 per arm) will be accrued for this study.
