FDA Issues Public Health
Advisory Recommending Limited Use of Cox-2 Inhibitors
Agency Requires Evaluation of Prevention
Studies Involving Cox-2 Selective Agents
FDA today announced that
it is requiring evaluation of all prevention studies that involve the Cox-2
selective agents Celebrex (celecoxib) and Bextra (valdecoxib) to ensure that
adequate precautions are implemented in the studies and that local
Institutional Review Boards reevaluate them in light of the new evidence
that these drugs may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. A
prevention trial is one in which healthy people are given medicine to
prevent a disease or condition (such as colon polyps or Alzheimer's
disease). |
|
FDA is issuing an advisory because of
recently released data from controlled clinical trials showing that the
COX-2 selective agents (Vioxx, Celebrex, and Bextra) may be associated with
an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events (heart attack and stroke)
especially when they are used for long periods of time or in very high risk
settings (immediately after heart surgery).
|
Each year over 100,000 people end up in the hospital and over
16,000 people die as the result from complications using aspirin,
Celebrex and other common NSAIDs.
