Gastro-protective Effect and Pain Relief Effect of Naxozol Compared to Celecoxib in Patients With Osteoarthritis

Phase 4
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Drug: Naproxen/Esomeprazol 500/20mg
Drug: Naxozol-Placebo
Drug: Comparator-Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02355236
Lead Sponsor
Severance Hospital
Brief Summary

Naxozol is a combination product of naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor which is designed to improve symptoms and reduce risk of gastric ulcers in patients at risk of developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether naxozol protects the gastrointestinal tract effectively compared to celecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor.

Detailed Description

A total of 10 orthopedic investigators will participate in this study. The effectiveness in gastro-protection of study drug will be assessed by Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire (LDQ). The orthopedic investigators will be trained with this questionnaire administration by an expert gastroenterologist prior to starting this study.
