Celecoxib Compared With No Treatment Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Drug: Placebos
Registration Number
NCT00022399
Lead Sponsor
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Celecoxib may be an effective treatment for early stage prostate cancer. It is not yet known if celecoxib is more effective than no treatment before surgery for prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to determine the effectiveness of celecoxib given before surgery to remove the prostate in treating patients who have localized prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Compare biomarker modulation (prostaglandin levels) in tissue samples of patients with localized prostate cancer treated with neoadjuvant celecoxib vs placebo followed by prostatectomy.

* Compare the effect of these regimens on angiogenic factors within the prostate in these patients.

* Determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of celecoxib in these patients.

* Compare the toxicity profiles of these regimens in these patients.

* Compare the compliance of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

* Arm I: Patients receive oral neoadjuvant celecoxib twice daily.

* Arm II: Patients receive oral neoadjuvant placebo twice daily. Treatment in both arms continues for at least 4 weeks followed by prostatectomy.

Patients are followed within 1 month and then at 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60-70 patients (at least 30 per arm) will be accrued for this study.
