Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Patients presenting with any of the following are excluded from participation in the study:
1. Diagnosis of any other type of arthritis including those types suspected of being infectious in origin or presence of any acute trauma in the Index Joint
2. Acute polyarticular gout (involving greater than 4 joints) or chronic gout
3. Use of any NSAID or analgesic therapy to treat the current acute gouty arthritis attack
4. Patients on any of the following medications are specifically excluded:
? Chronic NSAID and/or analgesic therapy (defined as >1 week) within 5 half lives (for the particular agent) prior to Screening/Baseline
? Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at doses of >325 mg/day
? Oral or injectable (including intra-articular) corticosteroids administered within 2 weeks of Screening/Baseline
? Intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid in the Index Joint
? Lithium and anticoagulants (such as warfarin, heparin, low molecular weight heparin)
? Local anesthetics, including regional blocks within 48 hours prior to Screening/Baseline and for the duration of the study
? Any other investigational medication within 30 days prior to Screening/Baseline or patient is scheduled to receive an investigational drug during the course of this study
5. History of acute or chronic gouty arthritis that has been unresponsive to NSAIDs
6. Any significant, uncontrolled disease, or condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would contraindicate study participation or confound interpretation of the results
7. Known laboratory abnormality; including AST, ALT, or blood urea nitrogen (BUN) >1.5 × the upper limit of the reference range, creatinine >1.5 mg/dL, or any other laboratory abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator would contraindicate study participation [Results from the analyses of complete blood count (CBC), blood chemistries, and/or urinalysis obtained within 6 months prior to Screening/Baseline must be available for determination of eligibility]
8. History of known alcohol or other substance abuse (in the investigator’s opinion) within 2 years of Screening/Baseline
9. Diagnosed as having or has been treated for esophageal, gastric, pyloric channel, or duodenal ulceration within 60 days prior to Screening/Baseline

12. Active malignancy of any type, including suspected metastases, or treatment for cancer (ie, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc.), or remission from any cancer other than basal cell carcinoma for less than 2 years prior to Screening/Baseline
13. Patient has symptoms, signs or treatment for congestive heart failure (NYHA Classification II-IV) or known left ventricular dysfunction with ejection fraction <40% (App
