Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand if anti-inflammatory drugs can be effective in treating OCD when used in addition to traditional medications.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-55 with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) who still have symptoms despite current medication. Participants must be able to consent and not have medical conditions or metal implants that could interfere with brain scans, nor take medications like antipsychotics or steroids that affect the study drug.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if celecoxib, an anti-inflammatory medicine, can help people with OCD when added to their existing treatment. It involves measuring inflammation in the brain and blood to see if these can predict the benefit from celecoxib.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Celecoxib may cause digestive issues like stomach pain and heartburn, kidney problems, swelling in legs or arms due to fluid retention, increased risk of heart attack or stroke, and allergic reactions such as rash.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Celecoxib TreatmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will receive standardized pharmacotherapy with celecoxib 100mg twice daily for the first week, and will then, if well-tolerated, will be increased to 200mg twice daily for the next seven weeks. Visits with the study psychiatrist will occur weekly for the first four weeks, and biweekly thereafter until week 8, which will be conducted remotely in general, although they may be conducted in-person as clinically warranted and may be conducted in person on the days of other in-person visits. If individuals experience significant side-effects from a given dose, the treating physician may lower the medication dose according to clinical judgment; if side-effects are intolerable, we will discontinue the research procedures and advance to open clinical treatment
