Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Celecoxib 200mg twice a day as oral capsules for six weeks in addition to standard care.

Adherence to allocated status will be in two phases. In hospital, administration will be recorded by nursing staff. At hospital discharge, participants will be provided with sufficient study medication to day 42. Participants will also be asked to complete a paper record of daily study drug administration. Study drug pill counts will be collected at the 42 day follow up.

Participants will receive routine care at the discretion of the treating team. They will be permitted to have analgesia prescribed as per the departmental analgesia protocol and at discretion of anaesthetists, with the only exception being that participants will be prohibited from receiving any additional NSAID including aspirin.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation sequence will be concealed from investigators, study staff and participants. The Fiona Stanley Hospital clinical trials pharmacist will generate the randomisation sequence. This sequence will be used to supply sequentially numbered bottles of blinded study medication to the ward based investigators.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
A permuted block randomisation method will be used with random variable block sizes with no stratification. The sequence will be generated using online software (sealedenvelope.com, Sealed Envelope Ltd., UK).

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
In an interventional study of acute burns <50% total body surface area (TBSA), mean Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) observer scores in the control group were 4.56/10 with a standard deviation of 1.54 (Gardien, Marck et al. 2016). A clinically significant improvement was attributed to the intervention with a fall of 18% in mean POSAS. A similar distribution was documented in a population of patients with TBSA <20%, mean POSAS was 3.42/10, with a standard deviation of 1.31 (Goei, van der Vlies et al. 2016). Assuming a baseline of 3.42 and SD of 1.31 and P=0.05, a study with 113 participants randomised in a 1:1 ratio has 80% power to detect a clinically significant 20% reduction in POSAS. With a 20% adjustment for non-normal distribution and 10% loss to follow-up, the final target is 150 participants. There were 350 patients admitted in the 2016 calendar year, of these 282 were within the target age group (18-65) and TBSA (<20%). We would therefore need to recruit 35% of eligible patients over an 18-month period to reach our target.

The primary analysis population is the intention to treat population defined as all study participants. There will be no imputation for missing data. A second per protocol analysis will be conducted including participants with adherence to study medication of >80%.

Normally and non-normally distributed data will be presented as mean and standard deviation, and median and interquartile range, respectively. Between-group comparison of parametric data will be provided as mean difference and confidence interval and analysed using Student’s t test. Between-group comparison of non-parametric data will be presented as median difference and analysed using the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test. For dichotomous data, frequencies and percentages will be presented and between-group analysis will use Fischer’s Exact or Chi-squared test as appropriate.

Secondary analysis will also be conducted adjusting the primary outcome variable for prespecified baseline covariates (age, gender, TBSA, depth of injury, infection at presentation, delayed presentation) in a transformed multivariable linear regression model including baseline univariate variables with a p<0.25. For all outcome analyses a two-sided p value of <0.05 will be considered significant. Subgroup analyses will be performed on the pre-specified subgroups of interest irrespective of whether there is evidence of a treatment effect. Heterogeneity between subgroups will be determined by fitting an interaction between treatment and subgroup.
