The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of long-term treatment with HZT-501, a fixed-dose combination oral tablet of 800 mg ibuprofen and 26.6 mg famotidine for patients that require long-term NSAID treatment.
HZT-501, a fixed-dose combination of ibuprofen, a pain and inflammation relieving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and famotidine, a histamine type 2 receptor antagonist (H2RA), is being developed for the treatment of patients with signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, mild to moderate pain or dysmenorrhea who are at risk of developing ibuprofen-associated upper gastrointestinal ulcers.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patient is capable of understanding the purpose and risks of the study and is able to provide written Informed Consent.
Patient is male or female, aged 40 to 80 years of age.
Patient is expected to require daily administration of an NSAID for at least the coming year for conditions including but not limited to: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic low back pain, chronic regional pain syndrome, chronic soft tissue pain.

Change From Baseline in the Pain Intensity Scale of the Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment (SODA) Questionnaire at 54 Weeks

The pain intensity scale of the SODA questionnaire ranges from 2 - 47. Change from baseline compares the score at Week 54 to the baseline score for each participant who completed the pain intensity questions of the SODA questionnaire at baseline and Week 54. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and therefore a negative mean change from baseline is indicative of an improvement in symptoms.

Change From Baseline in the Non-pain Symptoms Scale of the Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment (SODA) Questionnaire at 54 Weeks

The non-pain symptom scale of the SODA questionnaire ranges from 7 - 35. Change from baseline compares the score at Week 54 to the baseline score for each participant that completed the non-pain symptom questions of the SODA questionnaire at baseline and Week 54. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity and therefore a negative mean change from baseline is indicative of an improvement in symptoms.

Change From Baseline in the Satisfaction With Dyspepsia-Related Health Scale of the Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment (SODA) Questionnaire at 54 Weeks

The satisfaction with dyspepsia-related health scale of the SODA questionnaire ranges from 2 - 23. Change from baseline compares the score at Week 54 to the baseline score for each participant who completed the Satisfaction questions of the SODA questionnaire at baseline and Week 54. A positive change from baseline in the SODA satisfaction scale represents a participant's overall improved satisfaction with their dyspepsia-related health.
