Treatment and study plan

Lumiracoxib

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. To show that either regimen of lumiracoxib (100mg od or 100mg bid) is not inferior to celecoxib 200mg od with respect to retention rate at 1 year in pts suffering from primary OA in hip, knee, hand or spine.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety & tolerability of pts using lumiracoxib vs pts using celecoxib

  2. Efficacy of lumiracoxib vs celecoxib with respect to Patient's assessment of OA pain, Patient's global assessment of disease activity, and Physician's global assessment of disease activity

  3. To compare reasons for discontinuation from treatment with lumiracoxib vs treatment with celecoxib

  4. To validate the psychometric properties of the Short Arthritis assessment Scale (SAS) by analyzing pt reported outcomes collected in this study
