About this study

Official title: Safety Data on Etoricoxib From Swedish Registries of Spondyloarthropathy/Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients

The study is intended to provide additional post-marketing safety data regarding the use of etoricoxib for the indication of ankylosing spondylitis.

Read the detailed description

The specific project objectives are to:

  1. Describe the characteristics of Swedish patients with inflammatory SpA/AS ; 2) Describe the use of etoricoxib and other cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2 inhibitors)/non-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsNSAIDs) in Swedish patients with SpA/AS; and 3) Estimate and compare the rates of clinical outcomes of special interest (gastrointestinal, renovascular, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular) with use of etoricoxib and other COX-2 inhibitors/nsNSAIDs in Swedish patients with SpA/AS. Comparisons of clinical outcomes among the drugs of interest will be made by descriptive comparison of the point estimates for the incidence rates and their associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs), using both clinical and epidemiological judgment and in light of the limitations of this observational study. No formal statistical significance testing will be performed for purposes of such comparisons.
Being tested
etoricoxib, Other COX-2 inhibitor, nsNSAIDs
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spondylarthropathies; Spondylitis, Ankylosing, run by Organon and Co.

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 1 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 10 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Number of patients with Characteristics of inflammatory SPA/AS (time frame: Over a 12 year period (2001-2013)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 May 2024.
