研究概览
简要总结
To investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of celecoxib adding on doxazosin and the potential predictive value of the absence of prostate cancer in the treatment of patients with LUTS/BPH and an elevated serum PSA level.
Patients who meet all eligible requirements for entry into the study will be randomized into one of the two treatment groups for 3 months in 2:1 ratio as shown below:
- Doxazosin 4 mg daily plus celecoxib 200 mg every day (QD)
- Doxazosin 4mg every day (QD)
详细描述
Study Procedure
- Male patients aged 40 years or older, having LUTS for at least 3 months (IPSS ≥ 8), a serum PSA level ≥ 4 ng/mL, without a palpable prostatic nodule will be enrolled into this prospective randomized trial to investigate whether COX-2 inhibitor can decrease serum PSA level and acts as a biomarker to differentiate between chronic inflammation and prostate cancer.
- Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to the study and control groups at 2:1 ratio. The study group will receive doxazosin 4mg every day (QD) plus celecoxib 200mg QD for 3 months and the control group will receive doxazosin 4 mg QD for 3 months. Patients will be investigated for IPSS, total prostatic volume, transition zone index, maximum flow rate, voided volume, postvoid residual, serum PSA, free PSA and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at baseline and 3 months after treatment. If the serum PSA levels remained higher than 4 ng/mL, patients of either group will be advised to receive prostatic biopsy for histopathological investigation.
- The prostatic biopsy will be advised at the end of the study in both groups of patients. Ten prostatic biopsied strips will be sent to pathological department for investigating the existence of prostatic cancer. The other two strips will be stored in liquid nitrogen for further investigation of inflammatory biomarkers.
Data Analysis
- The efficacy evaluation will be performed on intention-to-treat populations (ITT) and per-protocol populations (PPP) datasets while the safety evaluation will be performed on ITT datasets. The primary conclusion will be made for the primary endpoint and secondary endpoint on the ITT population.
