FDA NSAIDs Decision Memo SUBJECT: Analysis and recommendations for Agency action regarding non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cardiovascular risk Executive Summary Following a thorough review of the available data we have reached the following conclusions regarding currently approved COX-2 selective and non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)1 and the risk of adverse cardiovascular (CV) events:2
• The three approved COX-2 selective NSAIDs (i.e., celecoxib, rofecoxib, and valdecoxib) are associated with an increased risk of serious adverse CV events compared to placebo. The available data do not permit a rank ordering of these drugs with regard to CV risk.
• Data from large long-term controlled clinical trials that have included a comparison of COX-2 selective and non-selective NSAIDs do not clearly demonstrate that the COX-2 selective agents confer a greater risk of serious adverse CV events than non-selective NSAIDs.
