Summary

This study uses a randomized, double-blind, controlled design and will be conducted in approximately 60 sites aiming to enroll a total number of 400 subjects (200 per arm).

Clinical Details

Official title: A 6-Month, Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Controlled, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Incidence of Gastric Ulcers Following Administration of Either PN 400 or Naproxen in Subjects Who Are at Risk for Developing NSAID-Associated Ulcers

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: A subject is considered to have completed the study if all scheduled assessments up through the 6 month visit have been performed, or the endpoint has been reached: gastric ulcer confirmed by endoscopy.

Detailed description: Objectives:

Primary: To demonstrate that PN 400 is effective in reducing the risk of gastric ulcers in subjects at risk for developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers.

Secondary:

- To determine if PN 400 is effective in reducing the risk of duodenal ulcers in subjects

at risk for developing NSAID-associated ulcers

- To compare upper gastrointestinal symptoms in subjects treated with PN 400 versus

naproxen as measured by scores on the Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment (SODA) instrument

and the Overall Treatment Evaluation - Dyspepsia (OTE-DP)

- To compare heartburn symptoms in subjects treated with PN 400 versus naproxen

- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PN 400 and naproxen

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.
