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.

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

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: To determine whether "continuous use" over a 6-month period of celecoxib 200 mg per day is more efficacious than "intermittent use" of celecoxib 200 mg per day in reducing the number of spontaneous osteoarthritis flares of the knee or hip joints.

Secondary outcome:

Amount of study flare medication taken

Time to first arthritis flare from the first dose of study medication

Number of days a subject is free from arthritis flare

Number of days a subject is in arthritis flare
