As described in the methods section, the etoricoxib model was built in GastroPlus™ using the available dissolution data for etoricoxib tablets in pH 2
Both etoricoxib doses were superior to placebo on both primary efficacy endpoints (p = 0
Following the DPT with etoricoxib, 20 patients were reviewed in clinic or contacted via telephone while the remaining 4 patients were lost to follow-up
