The Effect of Celecoxib on the Antiplatelet Effect of Aspirin and Clopidogrel in Normal Volunteers

Registration Number
NCT00882388
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Background:

* The prevalence of arthritis which needs celecoxib prescription is high in patients with coronary artery disease.

* The main concern is that celecoxib would increase thrombogenicity by inhibiting the synthesis of prostacyclin in endothelial cells.

* It is not known whether the administration of celecoxib would deteriorate antiplatelet effects of aspirin and clopidogrel which are used after stenting.

Methods:

* Healthy volunteers (n=40)

* Randomization into five subgroups

* aspirin, celecoxib, aspirin+celecoxib, aspirin+clopidogrel, aspirin+clopidogrel+celecoxib

* Medication schedule : medication of each drug for 6 days, blood samples at day 0 and day 7

* Celecoxib 200mg twice a day, and/or aspirin 100mg daily, and/or clopidogrel 75 mg daily

* Platelet function test : light transmittance aggregometry and arachidonic acid metabolite assay among subgroups.

Study hypothesis : The addition of celecoxib does not deteriorate antiplatelet function of aspirin and clopidogrel.
