Periodontal Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase IIB Trial of Ketorolac Mouth Rinse Evaluating the Effect of Cyclooxygenase Inhibition on Oropharyngeal Leukoplakia: Collaborative Study of the NCI, NIDCD and the NIDCR
In Phase II trials, treatment with ketorolac tromethamine oral rinse has been shown to block
periodontal disease progression even in the absence of standard clinical intervention such
as scaling and root planing which is routinely done to reduce the periodontal pathogen load
that is driving the local destructive host inflammatory response. Resolution of periodontal
disease has a favorable effect on normalizing the cellular and biochemical indices of
inflammation as reflected by histological changes as well as the levels of prostaglandin E2
(PGE2) and interleukin I beta (IL-1beta). In this trial, we will prospectively evaluate if
eliminating the inflammatory process (via inhibition of PGE2 biosynthesis) in the oral
cavity has a favorable impact on reversing oropharyngeal leukoplakia. To test this
hypothesis, up to 57 prospectively identified individuals with objective findings of
oropharyngeal leukoplakia will be randomized to receive either a mouth rinse containing
ketorolac or placebo. Ketorolac is a 7-fold selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2),
which has been designed for local delivery to maximize the drug exposure to critical oral
target tissues while minimizing gastric and systemic exposure to the drug. All responses
will be determined at the three month completion of trial using the response criteria
developed at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The drug will be given for three months and then all
the patients will be followed for one additional month off all oral treatment to observe for
late side effects. Based on the analysis of oral exam and photographically documented change
in the pretreatment area of leukoplakia, the response of all patients will be determined.
The evaluation of the outcome will include a measurable secondary endpoint consisting of an
assessment of histological change as determined by serial punch biopsies of the oral cavity.
In addition, a panel of carcinogenesis and inflammatory markers will be serially measured at
baseline, at one month follow up or at study conclusion. In the residual tissue, other
bioassays will be evaluated to determine their suitability as intermediate endpoint markers.
The purpose of this study is a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of ketorolac as a
potential chemoprevention agent for oropharyngeal cancer. If ketorolac administration in
this preliminary Phase IIB trial is associated with reversal of leukoplakia, then a
definitive Phase III chemoprevention trial with a cancer reduction endpoint (most likely in
a cooperative group-type setting) may be the next validation step.
