What is being measured

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

  1. Overall OA pain intensity in the target knee on a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 13 weeks.

  2. Patient's global assessment of disease activity on a 0-100 mm VAS at 13 weeks.

  3. Patient's functional status using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC©) total score at 13 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. • Overall OA pain intensity in the target knee using 0-100 mm VAS, at weeks 2, 4, 8.

  2. Patient's global assessment of disease activity using 0-100 mm VAS, at weeks 2, 4, 8.

  3. Patient's functional status using WOMAC© Likert 3.1 sub-scale scores and total score, at weeks 2, 8, 13.

  4. Patient's health status using the Short Form-36 (SF-36), at week 13.

  5. Physician's global assessment of disease activity using 0-100 mm VAS, at weeks 2, 4, 8.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lumiracoxib in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Novartis 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 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 21 May 2012. 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 Germany, Switzerland. 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 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?

Overall OA pain intensity in the target knee on a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 13 weeks.. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00367315, 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 21 May 2012.
