About this study

Official title: Double-Blind Parallel-Group Randomized Study Of Efficacy And Safety Of "Continuous Use" Of Celecoxib Vs. The "Usual Use" Of Celecoxib In The Treatment Of Subjects With Chronic Osteoarthritis Of The Hip Or Knee Who Require an Anti-inflammatory Medication for Control Of Their Pain

To determine whether "continuous use" of celecoxib over a 6-month period is more efficacious than "usual or intermittent use" in preventing spontaneous osteoarthritis flares of the knee and hip.

    24 weeks of study treatment: 2 weeks open-label celecoxib 200 mg daily followed by 22 weeks of randomized double blind celecoxib 200 mg daily.

    Placebo used as flare medication when directed.

  • CelecoxibDrug

    24 weeks of study treatment: 2 weeks open-label celecoxib 200 mg daily followed by 22 weeks of randomized double blind placebo daily.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Flare Events Per Time of Exposure to Study Medication

    Number of flare events per month during Period III (calculated as number of flares divided by number of months participant was enrolled during Period III). Flare was determined using pre-defined criteria, using an interactive voice response system.

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Time to Occurrence of First Osteoarthritis (OA) Flare

    Time from first dose of double blind medication (start of Period III) to occurrence of first OA flare. Flare was determined using pre-defined criteria, using an interactive voice response system

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  2. Proportion of Days Free From Osteoarthritis (OA) Flare

    Number of days subject was free from OA flare divided by number of days on study medication in Period III. Flare was determined using pre-defined criteria, using an interactive voice response system.

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  3. Proportion of Days in Osteoarthritis (OA) Flare

    Number of days subject was in OA flare divided by number of days on study medication in Period III. Subjects may have more than one flare. Flare was determined using pre-defined criteria, using an interactive voice response system.

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  4. Arthritis Pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)

    Participant rated intensity of osteoarthritis pain on categorical scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Scores analyzed as area under the curve (AUC) of participant's scores from each assessment in Period III.

    Measured: Period III

  5. Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis

    Participant's response to question "Considering all the ways the osteoarthritis in your hip or knee affects you, how are you doing today?" on scale from 1 (very good) to 5 (very poor). Scores analyzed as area under the curve (AUC) of participant's scores from each assessment in Period III.

    Measured: Period III

  6. Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis at Final Visit

    Physician assessed each participant's disease symptoms on a categorical scale from 1 (very good) to 5 (very poor).

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  7. Total Rescue Medication Taken (Mean)

    Total amount of rescue medication (acetaminophen in milligrams [mg]) taken per month per participant

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  8. Proportion of Days on Rescue Medication

    Days on rescue medication divided by number of days on study medication in Period III

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  9. Days on Flare Medication

    Number of days on flare medication per month per subject calculated as number of days on flare medication divided by the number of days on study medication in Period III

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  10. Change in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Scores

    Score at end of Period III minus score at start of Period III. WOMAC assesses subject responses to 24 components regarding subscales of pain, stiffness and physical function (score range: 0=none to 4= extreme). Total score is sum of the 3 subscale scores. Negative change indicates improvement.

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

  11. Area Under the Curve (AUCs) of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Scores

    WOMAC assesses subject responses to 24 components regarding subscales of pain, stiffness and physical function (score range: 0=none to 4= extreme). Total score is sum of the 3 subscale scores. Scores analyzed as area under the curve (AUC) of participant's WOMAC scores from each assessment in Period III.

    Measured: Period III (22 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Celecoxib in people with Osteoarthritis, Knee and Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc. at 124 sites in 8 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 124 sites in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Brazil, Colombia and 3 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Flare Events Per Time of Exposure to Study Medication (time frame: Period III (22 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00139776, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2021.
