Celecoxib has less aggravating effect on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in comparison with non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors: a retrospective multi-institutional study
摘要
Cisplatin (CDDP)-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) is one of its most serious adverse effects. Although we previously demonstrated that celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 selective inhibitor, attenuates CIN in a basic study, there are no reports that have evaluated its clinical impact on CIN. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effect of celecoxib on CIN compared with that of non-selective COX inhibitors.
MethodsPatients with lung cancer receiving CDDP (≥ 60 mg/m2)-containing regimens with regular administration of loxoprofen or naproxen (COX-1 group), or celecoxib were evaluated in this retrospective, multi-institutional study. The primary endpoint was the evaluation of CIN incidence in all treatment cycles between the groups. In addition, the variance in creatinine clearance (CCr) and the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse effects were evaluated.
ResultsCIN occurred in 24.2% of patients in the COX-1 group (n = 33) and 0% of those in the celecoxib group (n = 15) in all cycles, showing a significant difference (P = 0.04). In addition, the variance in CCr was significantly smaller in the celecoxib group than in the COX-1 group in all cycles, as well as at the primary endpoint (P = 0.02). However, there was no difference in the incidence of CIN or variance in CCr in the first cycle between the two groups. The incidences of nausea, vomiting, and anorexia were similar between the groups, implying a similar amount of oral hydration.
ConclusionThese findings suggest that celecoxib is less aggravating on CIN than non-selective COX inhibitors.
