Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) prevent heterotopic ossification but gastrointestinal complaints are frequently. Selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibiting NSAID produce less gastrointestinal side effects.
A prospective two-stage study design for phase 2 clinical trials with 42 patients was used to determine if rofecoxib (a COX-2 inhibitor) 50 mg oral for 7 days prevents heterotopic ossification. A cemented primary THA was inserted for osteoarthroses. After 6 months heterotopic bone formation was assessed on AP radiographs using the Brooker classification.
No heterotopic ossification was found in 81% of the patients, 19% of the patients had Brooker grade 1 ossification.
Using a two-stage study design for phase 2 clinical trials, a 7-day treatment of a COX-2 inhibitor (rofecoxib) prevents effectively the formation of heterotopic ossification after cemented primary total hip arthroplasty.
非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)可预防异位骨化,但胃肠道不适较为常见。选择性环氧化酶-2(COX-2)抑制性NSAIDs产生的胃肠道副作用较少。
采用前瞻性两阶段研究设计进行2期临床试验,纳入42例患者,以确定口服50mg罗非昔布(一种COX-2抑制剂)7天是否能预防异位骨化。为骨关节炎患者植入骨水泥固定的初次全髋关节置换术(THA)假体。6个月后,使用布鲁克分类法在前后位X线片上评估异位骨形成情况。
81%的患者未发现异位骨化,19%的患者有布鲁克1级骨化。
采用两阶段研究设计进行2期临床试验,使用COX-2抑制剂(罗非昔布)治疗7天可有效预防骨水泥固定的初次全髋关节置换术后异位骨化的形成。
