Disease relevance of rofecoxib

  • Upper gastrointestinal toxicity of rofecoxib and naproxen [1].
  • The incidence of myocardial infarction was lower among patients in the naproxen group than among those in the rofecoxib group (0.1 percent vs. 0.4 percent; relative risk, 0.2; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.1 to 0.7); the overall mortality rate and the rate of death from cardiovascular causes were similar in the two groups [2].
  • OBJECTIVE: To compare the incidence of PUBs in patients with osteoarthritis treated with rofecoxib vs NSAIDs [3].
  • METHODS: We used a systematic chemical approach to modify the structures of celecoxib and rofecoxib to produce a series of compounds that were tested for their effects on the viability of human prostate cancer PC-3 cells and their ability to induce apoptosis in these cells [4].
  • Is the demonstration of adenoma reduction with rofecoxib a pyrrhic victory [5]?
  • Among patients with a history of colorectal adenomas, the long-term use of 25 mg/day of rofecoxib was associated with an increased risk of clinically relevant upper gastrointestinal events when compared with placebo [6].
  • There was no channeling in the usage of selective COX-2 inhibitors toward patients with a high risk of GI and low risk of cardiovascular disease following the withdrawal of rofecoxib [7].

Associations of rofecoxib with other chemical compounds

  • METHODS: We randomly assigned 8076 patients who were at least 50 years of age (or at least 40 years of age and receiving long-term glucocorticoid therapy) and who had rheumatoid arthritis to receive either 50 mg of rofecoxib daily or 500 mg of naproxen twice daily [2].
  • Rofecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor, does not inhibit human gastric mucosal prostaglandin production [28].
  • Selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase 2-dependent prostacyclin (by rofecoxib or etoricoxib) was associated with increased urinary excretion of 11-dehydro-TXB(2) in carriers of TLR4 polymorphisms, but not in wild-type, suggesting a restrainable effect of prostacyclin on platelet function in vivo in this setting [29].
  • Using celecoxib as the reference exposure showed an increase in the MI risk for rofecoxib (risk difference [RD] 1.40, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] -0.20, 3.01) and diclofenac (RD 6.07, 95% CI -0.02, 12.15) [30].
  • SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind group study, gastrointestinal blood loss was assessed by measurement of fecal (51)chromium radioactivity during a 1-week placebo baseline period and during 4 weeks of treatment with rofecoxib (25 mg or 50 mg once daily), ibuprofen (800 mg three times daily), or placebo in 67 healthy subjects [31].
  • Neither PCI gemcitabine nor rofecoxib prolonged survival in the patients in this study [32].
  • The disappearance of rofecoxib was associated with replacement drugs such as newly marketed dexibuprofen and aceclofenac, whereas nimesulide use coincidentally decreased [33].
 

Gene context of rofecoxib

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of rofecoxib

  • A randomized trial of rofecoxib for the chemoprevention of colorectal adenomas [36].
  • Between Jan 1, 1999, and June 30, 2001, we did a retrospective cohort study of individuals on the expanded Tennessee Medicaid programme (TennCare), in which we assessed occurrence of serious coronary heart disease (CHD) in non-users (n=202916) and in users of rofecoxib and other NSAIDs (rofecoxib n=24 132, other n=151 728) [37].
  • After 30 days, mortality in the control group was 90%, whereas only one mouse (5%) treated with rofecoxib had died after 30 days [34].
  • In this study, we determined that inhibition of COX-2 by oral administration of Rofecoxib significantly slowed but did not cure the growth of small tumors in mesothelioma-bearing mice [38].
  • Patients who experienced increased pain on withdrawal of analgesia were randomized to receive AZD3582 125 mg, 375 mg, or 750 mg twice a day; rofecoxib 25 mg once a day; naproxen 500 mg twice a day; or placebo for 6 weeks [39].
