Low Dose Aspirin Inhibition of COX-2 Derived PGE2 in Male Smokers

- Current diagnosis of malignancy or history of non-skin malignancy in last 5 years

- Current use of systemic anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin (Coumadin), enoxaparin
(Lovenox), Fondaparinux (Arixtra), dabigatran (Pradaxa))

- Diagnosis of COPD

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Prevention

Outcome Measure:

Change in COX-2 dependent urinary PGE-M (ng/mg Cr) production after 16 days of aspirin treatment

Outcome Description:

Baseline urinary PGE-2 metabolite (PGE-M) will be measured. Then after 3 days of COX-2 blockade with celecoxib, it will again be measured. Participants will then undergo 10 days of treatment with aspirin and urinary PGE-M will be measured. Finally, participants will be treated with combined aspirin and celecoxib for 3 days and urinary PGE-M will be measured one last time. Using these values, the degree of aspirin inhibition of COX-2 specific urinary PGE-M production can be calculated.

Outcome Time Frame:

16 days

Safety Issue:

No
