Conditions

Haematological malignancy Cancer Other and unspecified malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue

Interventions

Cohort receives oral celecoxib 10 mg/kg 3 hours prior to first scheduled LP (LP 1) and then 5 mg/kg 12 hours after first dose and multiple blood samples to create blood PK profile. Randomisation into

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. All patients and CSF dose timing cohort (Group 1: Oral celecoxib 10 mg/kg pharmacokinetic profile) 1.1. Mean total and unbound plasma concentration ug/L at approximately the following time intervals (mins): 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 300, 900 1.2. Mean CSF concentration ug/L at approximately the following time intervals (mins): 60, 120, 180, 300, 900 1.3. Ratio CSF/unbound plasma concentration at approximately the following time intervals (mins): 60, 120, 180, 300, 900 1.4. This information will be used to determine plasma and CSF mean +/- SD values for maximum concentration (Cmax [ug/L]); area under concentration curve from time 0 to infinity; apparent oral volume of distribution (Vd/F [L/kg]); apparent oral clearance (CL/F [L·h-1·kg-1] and terminal elimination half-life (t1/2 [h]). A median value will be determined for time to maximum concentration (tmax[h]). 2. Dose escalation cohort (Group 2: Oral celecoxib 6 mg/kg and 14 mg/kg pharmacokinetic profile) 2.1. Mean total and unbound plasma concentration ug/L at approximately the following time intervals (mins): 60, 180, 300 2.2. Mean CSF concentration ug/L at approximately 180 min 2.3. Ratio CSF/unbound plasma concentration at approximately 180 min 2.4. This information in conjunction with the pharmacokinetic profile established in the dose timing cohort (10 mg/kg) will be used to predict plasma and CSF values for tmax, Cmax, AUC, Vd/F, CL/F and t1/2 for 6 and 14 mg/kg oral doses respectively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame

Parent report for children aged 2-7, 8-12 and 13-18 3.2. Child report ages 8-12 and 13-18 4. PedsQL Multidimension Fatigue Scale version 1.0 scores before and 7 days after LP 4.1. Parent report for children aged 2-7, 8-12 and 13-18 4.2. Child report ages 8-12 and 13-18 5. PedsQL Pediatric Pain Questionnaire baseline and daily scores for 7 days after LP 5.1. Parent report for children aged 2-7, 8-12 and 13-18 5.2. Child report ages 5-7, 8-12 and 13-18 6. Demographics including professional identity of the individual performing the LP+/-BM, description of the LP and BM needles used, number of attempts and degree of difficulty 7. Adverse events recorded daily for 7 days after each dose ingested
