Trial Outcomes & Findings for Aspirin and Zileuton and Biomarker Expression in Nasal Tissue of Current Smokers (NCT NCT02348203)

NCT ID: NCT02348203

Last Updated: 2022-06-02

Results Overview

Change in a nasal smoking-related gene expression signature score derived from prior research was compared between the two study arms. Prior research showed that a higher score was observed in never smokers compared to current smokers. An increased score implicated a more favorable intervention effect. There is no minimum or maximum score.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 12 weeks (End-of-intervention)

Population: The number of participants analyzed is different from the numbers provided in the Participant Flow Module because gene expression analysis was restricted to samples that met quality metrics.

Change in a nasal smoking-related gene expression signature score derived from prior research was compared between the two study arms. Prior research showed that a higher score was observed in never smokers compared to current smokers. An increased score implicated a more favorable intervention effect. There is no minimum or maximum score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 12 weeks (End of Intervention)

Population: The number of participants analyzed is different from the numbers provided in the Participant Flow Module because gene expression analysis was restricted to samples that met quality metrics.

Change in three lung cancer gene signatures (an 80-gene bronchial signature, a PI3K pathway gene signature and a nasal diagnostic gene signature) derived from prior research was compared between the two study arms. A decreased signature score implicated a more favorable intervention effect. There is no minimum or maximum score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 14 days post intervention

Population: The number of participants analyzed is different from the numbers provided in the Participant Flow Module because gene expression analysis was restricted to samples that met quality metrics.

Change (from baseline to 10-14 days off intervention) in a nasal smoking-related gene expression signature score derived from prior research was compared between the two study arms. Prior research showed that a higher score was observed in never smokers compared to current smokers. An increased score implicated a more favorable intervention effect. There is no minimum or maximum score.

Population: The number of participants analyzed is different from the numbers provided in the Participant Flow Module because gene expression analysis was restricted to samples that met quality metrics.

Change in a nasal smoking-related gene expression signature score derived from prior research was analyzed by gender. Prior research showed that a higher score was observed in never smokers compared to current smokers. An increased score implicated a more favorable intervention effect. There is no minimum or maximum score.

Population: Data were not collected.

Two sample t tests will be performed to evaluate whether or not there are significant differences in changes in oxylipin metabolome between the treatment and placebo groups. In addition, system biology methods will also be used to analyze the oxylipin metabolome data.
