The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new arthritis drug, Vioxx, for use in patients with osteoarthritis in addition to other conditions.
The agency added Vioxx to the category of the National Formulary for osteoarthritis, arthritis and related conditions, saying it would not be required to include Vioxx in the list of approved drugs for the same indication.
In a news release, FDA said it has received information from manufacturers that the arthritis drug has been found to increase the risk of developing cancer by 2.5 times, which would not be seen in other similar diseases.
The agency said that the FDA has not yet reviewed the risks of Vioxx, including osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis.
The agency said it is awaiting a letter from Merck & Co. to the FDA requesting that the agency develop a new arthritis drug for the conditions it found to be "uncontradicted" in the literature.
In addition, the agency said it is reviewing a potential new drug application for Celebrex that would make Celebrex the second-leading arthritis drug in the United States and the first to be approved for that purpose.
The FDA has not said whether Vioxx is still available for patients with arthritis, but it has been approved for that purpose.
The FDA is also reviewing whether a new application for the drug, which will be filed with the FDA in December, should be made available for use by the first-time application for the same indication.
Vioxx has been in the FDA's drug-development pipeline for several years, but has not been shown to increase the risk of developing cancer.
