Sponsor:	Pfizer
Information provided by:	Pfizer
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00139776

Purpose

To determine whether "continuous use" of celecoxib over a 6-month period is more efficacious than "usual or intermittent use" in preventing spontaneous osteoarthritis flares of the knee and hip.

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Osteoarthritis, Knee Osteoarthritis, Hip	Drug: Celecoxib	Phase IV

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study
Official Title:	Double-Blind Parallel-Group Randomized Study Of Efficacy And Safety Of "Continuous Use" Of Celecoxib Vs. The "Usual Use" Of Celecoxib In The Treatment Of Subjects With Chronic Osteoarthritis Of The Hip Or Knee Who Require an Anti-Inflammatory Medication for Control Of Their Pain
