Clinical Trials Related to Propoxyphene Napsylate and Acetaminophen (Propoxyphene / Acetaminophen)
Multiple-Ascending-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety of Propoxyphene Napsylate In Healthy Adult Subjects [Terminated]
Lumbar Stenosis Outcomes Research II [Completed]
The primary objective of the proposed pilot study is to determine the efficacy of
oxymorphone hydrochloride and propoxyphene/acetaminophen combination in prolonging the time
to onset of pain and reducing the severity of pain associated with walking in patients with
neurogenic intermittent claudication. The secondary objective is to examine the functional
benefit of oxymorphone hydrochloride and propoxyphene/acetaminophen combination with respect
to improvement in duration and distance of walking tolerance.
The proposed study will also provide the foundation for a treadmill-based methodology for
assessing the analgesic efficacy of drugs for low back pain provoked by standing and walking
associated with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Oxycodone or Standard Pain Therapy in Treating Patients With Cancer Pain [Completed]
RATIONALE: Oxycodone helps lessen pain caused by cancer and may improve quality of life. It
is not yet known whether oxycodone works better and is more cost effective than standard
therapy in treating patients with cancer pain.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase IV trial is studying oxycodone to see how well it works
compared with standard pain therapy in treating patients with cancer pain and if it is more
cost effective than standard pain therapy.
Effect Of Celecoxib On Hip Osteoarthritis (OA) Progression [Terminated]
Objectives of the study:
Primary: Assess the ability of a continuous treatment of celecoxib 200 mg versus placebo
administered once daily (QD) for 24 months in slowing disease progression as assessed
radiographically in subjects with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hipSecondary: Assess the ability
of a continuous treatment of celecoxib 200 mg versus placebo administered QD for 24 months
in treating disease signs and symptoms in subjects with OA of the hip. Evaluate the ability
of a continuous 24-month intake of celecoxib 200 mg QD versus placebo to reduce number of
subjects eligible for hip replacement according to the investigator. Evaluate the
tolerability and safety of a continuous 24-month intake of celecoxib 200 mg QD versus
placebo in subjects with OA of the hip.
An Effectiveness and Safety Study of Two Doses of Acetaminophen Extended Release Caplets in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of 650 mg and 1300 mg
acetaminophen extended release given three times a day for the relief of signs and symptoms
of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee for a period of 12 weeks.
