What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LumiracoxibDrug

What is being measured

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

  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 (4)
  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

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

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.. 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 NCT00145301, 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?
