Trial design

Randomised, two crossover sequences: (1) aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) + diclofenac gel, then placebo (calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate) + diclofenac gel; (2) placebo + gel, then aspirin + gel. (no doses/schedules specified in arm descriptions; product: aspro 320 mg tablet is the aspirin product and diclofenac 1% gel is the topical auxiliary.)-controlled, crossover Phase III trial in France.
