- Any GI disorder associated with malabsorption

- Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus
- History of bleeding disorder or concurrent use of coumadin or any agent used to reduce blood clotting or platelet adhesiveness.

- History of allergy to aspirin, naproxen or other NSAID
- History of substance abuse including alcohol, or any psychiatric condition that may impair the subject's ability to comply with the study requirements.
- Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might put the subject at undue risk or might interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the study.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis (WOMAC) Composite Score: Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12.
Time Frame: As measured at Baseline and Week 12
|
WOMAC is a composite of subscales: pain - 5 questions, stiffness - 2 questions, physical function - 17 questions. Subject answers each question as none=0, slight=1, moderate=2, very=3 and extreme=4 of pain, stiffness and difficulty of function. Scores for each subscale are summed, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. Individual question scores are then summed to form a raw score ranging from 0 (worst) to 96 (best). Raw scores are normalized by multiplying each score by 100/96. This produces a reported WOMAC Score of between 0 (worst) to 100 (best).The higher the score of the units on the scale, the better the outcome. For each individual subject, the percent change from baseline to Week 12 in the WOMAC composite score is calculated as 100 x (week 12 minus baseline)/baseline. The higher the percent change, the better the outcome. The percent changes from baseline to Week 12 are then compared between Flavocoxid and Naproxen. |
