Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was performed to demonstrate that treatment with valdecoxib 10 mg daily (QD) was at least as effective as with naproxen 500 mg twice daily (BID), a standard non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), when taken for 6 weeks in Korean subjects with symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Secondary objectives were to assess the overall safety and tolerability of valdecoxib 10 mg QD taken for 6 weeks in Korean subjects with symptomatic OA of the knee.
