Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well celecoxib works through surgery and radiation therapy in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Celecoxib is Food and Drug Administration approved to treat arthritis, acute pain, and painful menstrual periods. Adding celecoxib to standard of care treatment may help to decrease the amount of time between surgery and radiation therapy.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the number of days from surgery to initiation of radiation with the addition of celecoxib compared to placebo. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess overall pain control and management for patients on celecoxib compared to placebo. II. To assess functional outcomes for patients on celecoxib compared to placebo. III. To assess the effect of celecoxib therapy on Quality of Life (QoL) compared to placebo. IV. To assess the average number of treatment days missed during adjuvant radiation for patients on celecoxib compared to placebo. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive celecoxib orally (PO) or via feeding tube twice daily (BID) starting 5 days prior to surgery and continues until the completion of radiation therapy (up to 6 months in total) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO or via feeding tube BID starting 5 days prior to surgery and continues until the completion of radiation therapy (up to 6 months in total) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients with an undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load on appropriate treatment are eligible - Subjects taking prohibited medications . A washout period of prohibited medications for a period of at least 5 half-lives or as clinically indicated should occur prior to the start of treatment

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The number of days from surgery to the initiation of radiation and adjuvant therapy The day of surgery will be considered day 0 and the number of days will be counted until the first dose of adjuvant radiation. A Gaussian mixed effects regression model will be used to compare the average number of days from surgery to the initiation of radiation and adjuvant therapy between treatment and control groups. The model will contain fixed effects for treatment arm and provider and a nested random effect for patient within provider. The mean difference between treatment groups, two-sided p-value and 95% confidence interval will be calculated from the model. up to 6 months
Secondary Assessment of overall pain control and management for patients on celecoxib compared to placebo. Assessment of subjective pain scores on the visual analog scale of pain intensity averaged over a week at rest, with a swallow, and with a cough. Pain intensity scale is a range from 0-10. 0= No Pain, 5= Moderate pain, 10= Unbearable paining Up to 3 years
Secondary Assessment of functional outcomes for patients on celecoxib compared to placebo Assessment of current activity level and swallowing capabilities, including food and liquid variety and assessment of G tube utilization. Up to 3 years
Secondary To assess the effect of celecoxib therapy on Quality of Life (QoL) compared to placebo. Completion of quality of life questionnaire EORTC QLQ-H&N43 as per the protocol described schedule. Up to 3 years
Secondary Assessment of the average number of treatment days missed during adjuvant radiation for patients on celecoxib compared to placebo. Assess the number of treatment days missed or delayed during adjuvant radiation. up to 3 years
Secondary Assessment of overall pain control and management for patients on celecoxib compared to placebo. Narcotic consumption will be assessed in daily total morphine equivalents averaged over a week up to 3 years
