Effect Observation Study of COX-2 Inhibitor to Treat Primary Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy

Phase 3
Conditions
Primary Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy
Interventions
Drug: COX-2 inhibitor
Registration Number
NCT02438709
Lead Sponsor
Peking Union Medical College Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether COX-2 inhibitor is effective in the treatment of primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy

Detailed Description

Patients with primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy(PHO) were diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and symptoms. PHO patients were treated with COX-2 inhibitor after signing informed consent. The extend of alleviation, the change of the markers on prostaglandin E metabolic pathway and the adverse event on different time points were recorded to identify the efficacy and safety.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Prostaglandin E2(PGE2) level change after COX-2 inhibitor treatment in PHO patients3 months

measure the serum prostaglandin E2 level at 3 months

Prostaglandin E2(PGE2) level change after COX-2 inhibitor treatment in PHO6 months

measure the serum prostaglandin E2 level at 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
change in pain on VAS scale after COX-2 inhibitor treatment12 months
The volume of distal part of middle finger change after COX-2 inhibitor treatment12 months

Both left and right fingers were measured twice and the average value was defined as volume of distal part of middle finger

Circumference of knee joint change after COX-2 inhibitor treatment12 months

During the circumference of knee joint (CKJ) assessment, the patient was standing straight and the knee was extended as much as possible. The tester stood closest to the examined leg and used a tape to measure the circumference just at the base of the patella. Both legs were measured twice and the average value was used as CKJ.
