Title: Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT)
Brief Summary: This study will determine whether glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and/or the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are more effective than placebo and whether the combination is more effective than glucosamine or chondroitin sulfate alone in the treatment of knee pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee after six months of follow-up. These substances, marketed in the United States as dietary supplements, have been widely touted by the lay press and by anecdotal personal experience as effective in treating OA. To date, however, only a few small studies have been published in the worldwide literature. The study proposed herein has been carefully constructed to definitively determine the efficacy of these agents.


Options:
A: 40 years and above, both genders, who have clinical and radiographic osteoarthritis symptomatic for at least six months.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Either sex aged 65 or above
* Diagnosis of OA of the hip and/or knee
* Severe pain requiring step two medication
* Taking maximum dose of paracetamol

Exclusion Criteria:

* Painful disease of the joints other than OA
* Contraindication to buprenorphine, other opioids, patch adhesives or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDS)
* Subjects taking cyclooxygenase (COX) II selective inhibitors
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject has been taking an NSAID at least 15 of the past 30 days for index knee pain
* Grades 2 or 3 OA as defined by the Kellgren and Lawrence Grading System of the medial tibiofemoral joint (joint space narrowing in the medial compartment \> lateral compartment as assessed by x-ray) using the Altman Atlas of OA7. This must be documented with a report from an x-ray of the study joint taken either at screening or within 1 year prior to screening
* Subject meets American College of Rheumatology (ACR) clinical classification criteria for osteoarthritis of the knee, defined by the following: Knee pain and at least 3 of the following: oAge \>50 oMorning stiffness \<30 minutes oCrepitus on active motion oBony tenderness oBony enlargement oNo palpable warmth of synovium.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject has a documented history of an allergic reaction (hives, rash, etc.) or a clinically significant intolerance to celecoxib, sulfonamides, aspirin, or opioids including oxycodone
* Significant pain outside the index knee, including significant hip or back pain that can not be distinguished from OA pain or that interferes with ability to walk. (Patients with bilateral knee OA will be allowed into the study. The index knee should be defined as the more painful knee
* Predominantly patellofemoral knee osteoarthritis in the index knee as assessed by clinical examination
* Subject who are unable to discontinue all formulations of prior analgesics other than acetaminophen during the Washout Period of the study, or who are anticipated to be unable to discontinue rescue medication for 24 hours prior to the respective visits. (Low dose aspirin may be taken for cardiac prophylaxis
* Excessive signal knee joint laxity indicative of functional ligamentous deficiency
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* A clinical diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee
* End-stage degenerative joint disease
* Eligibility for primary unilateral total or partial joint replacement surgery
* Pain level moderate to severe and at such a level as to require daily doses of an opioid analgesic medication

Exclusion Criteria:

* Has a life-long history of seizure disorder or epilepsy
* Had any of the following within the preceding 1 year: mild or moderate traumatic brain injury, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or brain neoplasm
* Had a severe traumatic brain injury within 15 years of screening (consisting of one or more of the following: brain contusion, intracranial hematoma, either unconsciousness or post traumatic amnesia lasting for more than 24 hours)
* Joint pain not associated with gout, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, other autoimmune disease
* History of alcohol or drug abuse

* Severely impaired renal function or moderately to severely impaired hepatic function
