What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To compare lumiracoxib 100mg od to celecoxib 200mg od in treating osteoarthritis (OS) of the target knee with respect to:

  2. Overall OA pain intensity in the target knee on a 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 26 weeks.

  3. Patient's global assessment of disease activity on a 0-100mm VAS at 26 weeks.

  4. Patient's functional status using the WOMAC total score at 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability profile of lumiracoxib as compared to celecoxib

  2. To assess the efficacy of lumiracoxib as compared to celecoxib with respect to:

  3. Overall OA pain intensity on a 0-100 mm VAS by visit

  4. Patient's global assessment of disease activity by visit

  5. Physician's global assessment of disease activity by visit

  6. Patient's functional status using the WOMAC 3.1 LK sub-scale scores and total score by visit

  7. Usage of rescue medication

  8. Response to treatment according to OARSI criteria by visit
