What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the 24-hour systolic BP profile of lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. in comparison to ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d. after 4 weeks of treatment.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Assessment of the effect of lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. on diastolic BP derived from ABPM after 4 weeks of treatment in comparison to ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d.

  2. Assessment of the effect of lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. on daytime and nighttime BP (systolic and diastolic) derived from ABPM after 4 weeks of treatment in comparison to ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d.

  3. Assessment of the effect of lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. on the incidence of significant increases in ABP in comparison to ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d.

  4. Exploratory analysis of the effect of lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. on the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension in comparison to ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d.

  5. Exploratory analysis of the effect of lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. on the ABPM profile between 0 and 4 hours after morning dose in comparison to ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing lumiracoxib in people with Osteoarthritis and Controlled Hypertension, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 2 sites in 2 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 7 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, Germany. 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?

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?

Assessment of the 24-hour systolic BP profile of lumiracoxib 100 mg o.d. in comparison to ibuprofen 600 mg t.i.d. after 4 weeks of treatment.. 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 NCT00267176, 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 7 Feb 2017.
