Double-Blind, Triple Dummy, Parallel-Group, Randomized, Six-Month Study To Compare Celecoxib (200 Mg BID) With Diclofenac Sr (75 Mg BID) Plus Omeprazole (20 Mg QD) For Gastrointestinal Events In Subjects With Osteoarthritis And Rheumatoid Arthritis At High-Risk Of Gastrointestinal Adverse Events
Abstract
To determine whether celecoxib is superior to combined therapy with diclofenac and omeprazole in the incidence of clinically significant upper and/or lower gastrointestinal (GI) events in high GI risk subjects with osteoarthritis and/or rheumatoid arthritis.
Conditions: Osteoarthritis, Arthritis, Rheumatoid.
Primary outcome: Number of Subjects With Clinically Significant Upper and/or Lower Gastrointestinal Events (CSULGIEs).
Enrollment: 4484 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 4,484 participants or records.
