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
Official title:
Randomized Study of Celebrex (Celecoxib) in Patients With Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
Study design: Interventional, Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
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.
