Conditions: Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 1
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The primary objective for this trial is to determine the biological ability of apricoxib to decrease T reg cells in the peripheral blood and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in subjects compared to those who have not in subjects with early stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The secondary objectives are to determine the efficacy of apricoxib to inhibit CD4+CD25+ T reg and FOXP3 function and exploration of COX-2 dependent biomarkers of apoptosis resistance, angiogenesis, invasion, and immunity.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: As part of the trial, forty eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to receive Apricoxib 400 mg orally once daily or no drug intervention for a 7 day period (Days 0-6) prior to surgical resection of the lung tumor but between the two surgeries. arm 2: None

Interventions: intervention 1: Apricoxib
