简要总结

The objective of this trial was to assess the efficacy and safety of 15 mg meloxicam i.m. once daily compared with 15 mg meloxicam tablets once daily p.o. in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis over a time period of 7 days.

详细描述

This was a randomized (1:1), open-label, multi-center, active-control, parallel-group study to compare the efficacy of 15 mg meloxicam i.m. once daily compared with 15 mg meloxicam tablets once daily p.o. in patients with rheumatoid arthritis over a time period of 7 days.

Patients eligible for the trial who met all inclusion and exclusion criteria and who gave their informed consent were randomized to one of two treatment groups (i.e. meloxicam ampoule or meloxicam tablet).

The study period totaled 8-14 days included screening, randomisation, study drug administration, and 7-day follow-up. The relevant assessment were performed on the day of randomisation and 7-day follow up.
