An open and non-comparative clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new agent, Cinopal (trade name of fenbufen, supplied by Taiwan Cyanamid Corporation). 28 patients with osteoarthritis, 1 with tendinitis, and 1 with spondylitis were randomly selected from Out-Patient Clinic, Department of Surgery, National Taiwan University Hospital to enter into study. Two tablets (200 mg per each) of Cinopal were given to each patient twice a day orally in a daily dose of 800 mg for consecutive twenty- eight days. Significant improvements were obtained in all patients on Cinopal therapy. The overall efficacy evaluation showed excellent at 27%, good at 67% and fair at 6%. Side effect and adverse reactions were minimal. The clinical laboratory tests including urinalysis, occult blood in stool, and hematological studies taken before and after Cinopal trial revealed its systemic safety profile. Based on this clinical study, Cinopal (fenbufen) has produced superior therapeutic efficacy and exhibited that it is a safe and well-tolerated non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of arthritis and other orthopedic inflammatory conditions. |
