A Trial Of COX-2 Inhibitors In PSA Recurrence After Definitive Radiation Or Radical Prostatectomy For Prostate Cancer
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the effect of celecoxib on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients
with prostate cancer in biochemical relapse after prior definitive radiotherapy or
radical prostatectomy.
- Compare the PSA doubling times in patients treated with this drug vs historical
controls.
- Compare the PSA doubling times in patients treated with this drug vs pretreatment PSA
values.
- Determine the time to clinical recurrence in patients treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral celecoxib twice daily. Treatment continues for 5 years in the
absence of disease progression. Patients may continue treatment beyond 5 years at the
discretion of the treating physician.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study.

Type of Study:
Interventional
Study Design:
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Outcome Measure:
Effect of COX-2 inhibitors on PSA level
Outcome Description:
To study the effect of COX-2 inhibitors on PSA level in patients who have only biochemical relapse after definitive radiation therapy or surgery for prostate cancer. In particular, to study the effect of celecoxib on PSA levels and PSA doubling times as compared to 1) historical controls (known and well-described median PSA doubling times of 9 months), and 2) pre-treatment PSA values and doubling times.
Outcome Time Frame:
9 months
Safety Issue:
No
