The Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor Cilostazol as an Adjunct to Conventional Therapy in Patients With Osteoarthritis

Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04789837
Lead Sponsor
Sadat City University
Brief Summary

Cilostazol is able to suppress the degradation of type II collagen in human chondrocytes induced by IL-1b. Cilostazol add-on for celecoxib therapy has synergistic anti-arthritic potential by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine production in synovial fibroblasts through the IL-10/SOCS3 pathways, consequently leading to the inhibition of synovial cell proliferation and overcoming the perpetuation of synovial inflammation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Visual Analogue scale assessment of painweek 12

the change of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score from baseline to posttreatment. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain."

Secondary Outcome Measures

the change of Short Form 36 Questionnaire (SF-36) score from baseline to posttreatmentweek 12

The SF-36 is a generic instrument to assess health-related quality of life. It consists of 36 questions and assesses 8 dimensions: physical functioning, role physical, pain index, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health index. It also provides 2 summary measures of physical and mental components. The SF-36 score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status.
