- To characterize the 24-hour arterial blood pressure profile of naproxcinod, compared to naproxen as measured by ABPM, through assessing the mean change from baseline in patients with OA and controlled essential hypertension. [ Time Frame: 15 weeks ]
- To characterize the 24-hour arterial blood pressure profile of naproxcinod compared to ibuprofen as measured by ABPM, through assessing the mean change from baseline in patients with osteoarthritis and controlled essential hypertension. [ Time Frame: 15 weeks ]
- To assess the general safety and tolerability of naproxcinod compared to naproxen and ibuprofen. [ Time Frame: 15 weeks ]
