Effects of Salsalate on Prandial-Induced Vascular Inflammation After SCI
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Salsalate 2grams twice a day for 30 days. Then Placebo for 30 days and Placebo twice a day for 30 days. Then Salsalate 2gr BID for 30 days. for Spinal Cord Injury. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall study objectives are to examine whether: 1. Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) having elevated body mass are at greater cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk for fasting and postprandial lipidemia, glycemia, and vascular inflammation than persons with SCI having 'normal' body mass, and 2. An inexpensive, low-risk, widely-available pharmacotherapy safely reduces CVD risks associated with fasting and postprandial lipidemia, glycemia, and vascular inflammation.

Timeline
Interventions
Participants will undergo randomization to either 1 month of Salsalate (4.0 g/day) or placebo. An untreated wash-in (1 month) will precede treatment (1 month), and a washout cross-over period (1 month) will follow. After the wash-in month participants will receive either Salsalate or the placebo. The last month will test effects of drug-placebo not examined in month 2
