A Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel-group Study Of Cardiovascular Safety In Osteoarthritis Or Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients With Or At High Risk For Cardiovascular Disease Comparing Celecoxib With Naproxen And Ibuprofen

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2016

24,081 participants

Abstract

To answer the question of overall benefit: risk of celecoxib when compared to two most commonly prescribe traditional (non-selective) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of arthritis pain. For this purpose, patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis with or at risk of developing cardiovascular disease will be recruited. The cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and renal safety and symptomatic benefit in each treatment group will be assessed accordingly.

Conditions: Arthritis, Rheumatoid.

Primary outcome: The First Occurrence of Antiplatelet Trialists Collaboration (APTC) Composite Endpoint, Confirmed by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC)..

Enrollment: 24081 participants.
