Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to compare celecoxib plus a PPI (esomeprazole) versus naproxen plus a PPI (esomeprazole) in preventing recurrent ulcer bleeding in arthritis patients with a history of ulcer bleeding who require concomitant ASA. We hypothesized that among patients with a history of ulcer bleeding who require concomitant ASA, celecoxib plus esomprazole would be superior to naproxen plus esomeprazole for the prevention of recurrent ulcer bleeding.

Arthritis Cardiovascular Diseases Cerebrovascular Disorders Drug: Celecoxib(drug) Drug: Naproxen(drug) Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly consumed drugs worldwide for the relief of pain and arthritis. However, the use of NSAIDs increases the risk of ulcer bleeding by 4-fold. Current evidence indicates that combination of conventional NSAIDs and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) reduces the risk of ulcer complications. The alternative strategy is to replace conventional, non-selective NSAIDs with NSAIDs selective for cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2 inhibitors). Recently, there are concerns about the cardiovascular safety of COX-2 inhibitors and conventional NSAIDs. Because of such concern, patients requiring anti-inflammatory analgesics who have cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes) should receive prophylactic low-dose aspirin. However, concomitant low-dose aspirin negates the gastric sparing effect of COX-2 inhibitors and augments the gastric toxicity of nonselective NSAIDs. Thus, gastroprotective agents such as PPIs should be co-prescribed to patients with high ulcer risk who are taking aspirin plus a COX-2 inhibitor or a nonselective NSAID.
