Clinical Trial Summary

Several factors make the use of celecoxib in human SMA patients appealing including: 1) low-dosing required for potential therapeutic effect (the corresponding dose in humans is much lower than that commonly used in adults and children with; 2) favourable side effect profile of this drug (particularly at the dosing required); 3) the fact that celecoxib crosses the blood brain barrier and 4) demonstration of efficacy in a genetically and pathophysiologically faithful animal mode. The investigators therefore believe that celecoxib is a promising disease modifying therapy for SMA.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a pilot, open-label, dose-response study in patients with SMA type II or III. All patients will be treated at each dose of once daily celecoxib (40, 80 and 160 mcg/kg) for a period of two weeks, for a total of 6 weeks (42 days) of treatment. ;
