Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of long-term treatment with HZT-501, a fixed-dose combination oral tablet of 800 mg ibuprofen and 26. 6 mg famotidine for patients that require long-term NSAID treatment.

Clinical Details

Official title: Open-Label Safety Study of HZT-501 in Patients Who Require Long-Term Daily Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Treatment

Study design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome: The safety of HZT-501 will be measured by adverse events, physical examinations (including vital signs and weight), and clinical laboratory assessments.

Secondary outcome: Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment Questionnaire (SODA) will be completed by the patients to assess tolerability every six weeks.

Detailed description: HZT-501, a fixed-dose combination of ibuprofen, a pain and inflammation relieving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and famotidine, a histamine type 2 receptor antagonist (H2RA), is being developed for the treatment of patients with signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, mild to moderate pain or dysmenorrhea who are at risk of developing ibuprofen-associated upper gastrointestinal ulcers.
