Summary

This is a randomized double blind controlled study to determine if celbrex (celecoxib), a selective COX-2 inhibitor, can decrease the rate of recurrence in adult patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. All patients will be evaluated for diesease severity at enrollment and at 3 month intervals for 30 months. After randomization, patients in the early treatment arm will begin celecoxib 6 months after enrollment. The delayed treatment arm will begin celecoxib 18 months after enrollment. All patients will receive celecoxib for 1 year. During the time that patients do not receive celecoxib, they will receive a placebo capsule with the same appearance. Follow-up visits will occur at three month intervals for the duration of the study.

Clinical Details

Primary outcome:

What is the efficacy of celebrex response relative to conventional endoscopy and surgical removal.

Do any clinical characteristics predict response.

Secondary outcome:

Do tissue levels of prostaglandin E2 or activated EGFR in patients treated with celebrex predict response.

Does celebrex reduce persistence of HPV DNA or alter HPV expression.

Do immunological characteristics predict response.
