Background : We previously showed that up to 20% of patients on celecoxiba cyclooxygenase (COX)-2inhibitorhad ulcer recurrence after an episode of peptic ulcer bleeding. Most ulcers recurred at the origi-nal ulcer site. We hypothesized that COX-2 contributes to maintaining the integrity of ulcer scar.Methods : We conducted a double-blindrandomizedparallel-group trial Patients who presented withNSAID-induced gastric ulcer bleeding were eligible if they had visible healed ulcer scars on follow-up en-doscopy and a histological test for Helihacter pylori was negative. Eligible patients were randomly as-signed to receive celecoxib 200 mg twice daily or paracetamol 1 g twice daily as identical-appearing studydrugs for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was ulcer recurrence. Other endpoints include COX-2 expres-sion and prostaglandin E2 synthesis at the ulcer scar.Results : Sixteen patients were randomly assigned to receive celecoxib or paracetamol (8 in each group) .Ulcer recurrence occurred in seven patients in the celecoxib group (88%) and one patient in the paraceta-mol group (13%p=O.Ol)all at the original ulcer site. COX-2 expression was upregulated at the ulcerscars but not at the adj acent normal antral tissue. Prostaglandin E2 synthesis was not increased at the re-current ulcers in the celecoxib group.Conclusion : Celecoxib use in patients with history of gastric ulcer bleeding is associated with a high ul-cer recurrence rate at the original ulcer site. This is probably due to COX-2 overexpression at the ulcerscarinhibition of which would affect the inte grity of the scar. |
