A Trial Of COX-2 Inhibitors In PSA Recurrence After Definitive Radiation Or Radical Prostatectomy For Prostate Cancer
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of celecoxib in treating patients who have relapsed prostate cancer following radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy.
OBJECTIVES: * Determine the effect of celecoxib on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with prostate cancer in biochemical relapse after prior definitive radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy. * Compare the PSA doubling times in patients treated with this drug vs historical controls. * Compare the PSA doubling times in patients treated with this drug vs pretreatment PSA values. * Determine the time to clinical recurrence in patients treated with this drug. OUTLINE: Patients receive oral celecoxib twice daily. Treatment continues for 5 years in the absence of disease progression. Patients may continue treatment beyond 5 years at the discretion of the treating physician. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study.
