Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

All participants in the MHRA's Full Feature GPRD (FF-GPRD) who have at least one electronic outpatient prescription record for etoricoxib issued by a General Practitioner during the period (April 1, 2002 to December 31, 2015) at the date of query execution against the FF-GPRD data warehouse.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All patients in the MHRA's Full Feature GPRD (FF-GPRD) who have at least one electronic outpatient prescription record for etoricoxib issued by a General Practitioner during the period (April 1, 2002 to December 31, 2015) at the date of query execution against the FF-GPRD data warehouse.

Exclusion Criteria:

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Dose of Initial Etoricoxib Prescription
Time Frame: At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)
At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)
Duration of Initial Etoricoxib Prescription
Time Frame: At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)
At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)
Participant's Baseline Characteristics (Demographics and Medical)
Time Frame: At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)
At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)
Incidence of Adverse Events of Special Interest Among Etoricoxib Users
Time Frame: During a time period up to 13.75 years
During a time period up to 13.75 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
"Off-label" use of Etoricoxib
Time Frame: At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)
At first prescription (during a time period up to 13.75 years)

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
June 30, 2006

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
March 1, 2015

Study Completion (ACTUAL)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
