Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The current estimated waitlist for initiation of CPAP treatment is about 2-3 months in the public hospital setting. In this study, patients will be randomised to receive Celecoxib or placebo during this usual waiting period.
Prior to starting this study, a patient will be assessed for eligibility, will have signed an informed consent form and be allocated a unique patient screening number in sequential, ascending chronological order. This number will be a two-digit number prefixed by “S” (e.g. S01, S02 etc) and will be used to identify patients during the screening phase prior to randomisation.
Randomisation will take place on the day of allocation of treatment and involves assigning a unique patient number in sequential, ascending chronological orderaccording to a computer generated randomisation list. To ensure the participant’s anonymity, documents will use the participant’s unique participant identification number (randomisation number).
The investigator and study staff will be blinded to the treatment of any participant. Unblinding of a participant will be possible when required for urgent medical reasons requiring knowledge of treatment for medical care according to the judgment of the principal investigator.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A computer generated randomisation list prepared by an individual not directly involved in subject assessments. This number will be a two digit number prefixed by “R” (e.g. R01, R02 etc) and will be used to identify the randomised treatment order the patient received.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a parrallel randomised controlled pilot study designed to investigate the effect of non-steroidal therapy on inflammation in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with regard to sleep apnea severity, reproductive function, androgen profile, cardio-metabolic health and quality of life. This study will use the drug celecoxib (Celebrex) which is a marketed drug in Australia that is commonly prescribed for arthritic conditions to relieve joint pain.
Participants will be asked to attend the clinic for a 3 month period involving 5 short visits and 2 overnight stays with PSG and blood sampling.
