Safety Study of Renal Function in Patients With Chronic Kidney Failure Taking Lumiracoxib or Diclofenac for Arthralgia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lumiracoxib in this particular population is associated with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to diclofenac; and to compare the magnitude of such impairment, if any, associated with use of lumiracoxib and diclofenac.

Experimental: Lumiracoxib group Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of lumiracoxib PO (200 mg/day) for a period of maximum 10 days, but no shorter than 7 days. |
Drug: Lumiracoxib
Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of lumiracoxib PO (200 mg/day), for a period no longer than 10 days, but no shorter than 7 days.
|
Active Comparator: Diclofenac group Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of diclofenac PO (100 mg/day) for a period no longer than 10 days but no shorter than 7 days. |
Drug: Diclofenac
Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of diclofenac PO (100 mg/day) for a period no longer than 10 days but no shorter than 7 days.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in GFR [Change in GFR will be measured at start of treatment (baseline) and again at the end of treatment (max. 10 days) for each patient]
Magnitude of change in GFR (ml / min) as measured by creatinine clearance in urine over 24 hours, considering the initial and final value at the end of the study. Creatinine clearance will be measured twice: initially, prior to the first dose of medication (baseline), and again at the end of treatment (ie. 10 days after starting dose).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Use of rescue medication [Use of rescue medication will be assessed at the end of treatment (ie. 10 days after first dose)]
Proportion of patients in each group who required rescue analgesic drugs at the end of the study.
- Subjective improvement in pain [Pain will be assessed with VAS at the start of treatment and again at the end of treatment (ie. 10 days after first dose)]
Change in the subjective perception of pain, assessed with help of a validated Visual Analog Scale both prior to the start of treatment and again at the end of treatment.
