In a double-blind, randomized trial on thirty-two patients affected by classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis, we have tried the effectiveness and safety of 500 mg/day oral diftalone versus 75 mg/day oral indomethacin for a period of six to twelve months treatment. Diftalone proved to be an effective and well tolerated anti-inflammatory drug in long-term treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Its activity and safety is at least comparable to that achieved by the use of indomethacin.

Sixteen general practitioners conducted a multicentre double-blind clinical trial to compare oxamethacin (100 mg t.i.d.) with indomethacin (50 mg t.i.d.) for a maximum duration of 2 weeks. Each drug was administered to 339 patients suffering from various pathological conditions requiring a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. When focusing on patients without associated drug therapy, 126/250 patients (50%) presented a good response on inflammation under oxamethacin and 98/236 patients (42%) a good response under indomethacin (p < 10−2); 141/250 patients (56%) presented a good response on pain under oxamethacin and 117/236 (50%) under indomethacin (p<5.10−2). Side effects and complaints were reported by 34/250 patients (14%) under oxamethacin and by 67/236 (28%) under indomethacin (p < 5.10−5). Some patients stopped treatment because of side-effects: 14/250 (6%) under oxamethacin and 32/236 (14%) under indomethacin (p < 2.10−3).
